Uhm. How do you determine 2 lines? How many characters are there exactly?

And sorry...I screwed up slightly again...

I originally scored this post as 2pts.

It should actually be 1 pt...

Correcting original score as well...

Aw shit...Caught another slip-up:

Uhm. How do you determine 2 lines? How many characters are there exactly? Cause I can fit it 2 lines... actually 1 if I stretch my browser window enough.

Originally scored as 4 pts but should be 3 pts...

Original post updated...

Sorry guys once again. It's starting to feel like debugging a game...

Solution: One point for a repeated cluster of ascenders or descenders.

Let me tidy things a little:

1pt A hamburger walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here".

0pts Seems like I now need to learn grammar!
2pts The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
1pt It was only a matter of time until someone posted a pangram; I was very much tempted to do so as well but fought off the urges.
1pt No worry Mandle, just cause it fits, doesn't mean it's the right solution.
3pts Uhm. How do you determine 2 lines? How many characters are there exactly? Cause I can fit it 2 lines... actually 1 if I stretch my browser window enough.
4pts Actually this is even better than the intended joke! I also know about the quote rule so no worries mate. We just need to set a rule about emoticons.
0pts Give us a clue.
0pts Hahahahahaha
1pt So, what is everyone doing this weekend?
0pts Counting words and letters and nouns I guess?
2pts Well my 'give us a clue' above yielded 0 points, so we know that it isn't verbs, pronouns, indefinite articles or nouns being counted (at least, not in those forms).
2pts I'd probably never guess this game IMO. Gah! Shit..
1pt Playing with LEGO
1pt Uhm. How do you determine 2 lines? How many characters are there exactly?
3pts this game is going to be a disaster when others start taking over the rounds

2pts Hm, could we go the mastermind approach and replace single words to see what affects points and what not?
2pts Hm, shall we go the mastermind way and replace single words to see what affects points and what not?
2pts Hm, could we go the mastermind approach and replace individual words to see what affects points and what not?
2pts single individual shall approach
0pts I have no idea.
2pts Hm, hm, could we go go the mastermind mind approach and replace individual words to see see what affects points and what not not?
2pts Hm, hm, hm, could we go go the mastermind mind approach and replace individual words to see see what affects points and what not not?
0pts Bananas!
3pts I'm liking the team effort even though only one person will get the point.

Solution: Is it one point given for every letter with an overdot?
Solution: 1 point for every u used?
SOLUTION: It's double letters.
Solution (?) is it one point for every 'th' 'ch' and 'sh'?
Solution: is it 1 point for each digraph?
Solution: is it 1 point for each word containing a digraph?
Solution: is it 1pt for every two letters combo that are pronounced in a way that there is no single English letter with the same pronunciation?
Solution: Is it 1pt for every word containing a digraph with an 'h' being the second letter?
Solution : 1 point for each consonant digraph?
Solution: 1pt for each Consonant Blend?
