Google unveiled a new trivia question a day site to encourage people to learn better searching techniques.
"... signed me ... my importance ... I have ... What is it?"
Why doesn't it end with "What am I?" Apparently, whoever wrote this isn't aware of how to properly use the first person convention in riddles. It just sounds awkward and ungrammatical and likely to confuse solvers.
Personally, I would have used the word "readers" instead of "viewers" but that's a more minor quibble.
Update: Yes, I know that "it" is the intended answer, but the question should have been written so that it was less confusing. A better way to write it would have been "Most modern readers think there's a glaring spelling error in a famous US historical document. Two future presidents signed it and two didn't because they were abroad. What is the error?"
