Don't reference yourself write-off challenge

May 20 '04 (Updated May 24 '04)

The Bottom Line Can you do it? How long will it take you if you can do it?

What’s in a write-off? I’ve got to be frank with you. People love to talk about themselves. Yes, even here at Epinions. I’m just as guilty as the next person, so… no, I am not condemning anyone. In fact, I am challenging everyone! Every review I read, I see the writer includes in his/her review …I….Me…Myself….I’m… etc.. throughout the entire body, header and footer! My challenge is this, can YOU write a review about a product within your house hold without referencing yourself in anyway, shape or form? Can this be done? You think it is easy? Prove it!!! I tried it. It’s not as easy as you think it is…




Rules of the game/challenge.

1) You can not use the words in English or any other language me, my, thy, I, myself, I’m, ‘your name’ or reference you in any way as to saying ‘mom, dad, brother, sister, uncle…etc. etc. etc.

2) You must give details on how the product is used or how it works just like the writing of your other reviews.

3) It must be a full length review. Not an express review.


4)Have fun, take your time. It's just a unique way of challenging yourself to writing in a different format.

Even if you try and you didn't succeed, point out your uh-oh's and send enter it anyway. If your witty with it, we might all enjoy what you have said and done.



SO ..... If you are interested, send me your completed review's link (url) by email or add it to the comments section below and I will include it right here on this page.

Good luck and may the best man…*ahem*or woman… NOT mention him/herself within it…


p.s. my own admission will be included on my profile page shortly after this as well as challenge/write-off rules.


Here are those that took evasive action against me, myself & I

Congratulations on a job well done!! It wasn't easy to do. See if you can do it and see if you can catch any of the 'rule breaking words' included in the reviews!
