another spell of hangman

I started hangman a little while ago and it's since been to Casyn, Onanymous, back to Casyn, Inspiral, MuzeKez and back to me. Now I know there are other people want a go so I'll make this easy for ya.

The United States flavor *koff* flavour *koff* of English dogs me. In programming and web design, I have learnt to spell color syntactically correct—that is, as required to make things work. Occassionally I spell the word without the u in general writings and consequently get my head bitten off. One should not work with ex-teachers with less than an impeccable grasp of English grammar and punctuation. That's Australian English in my place of work.

When we installed our CMS, it came with a button labelled favorites. A button I can't change. Do you know how many people complained the word was spelled—is it spelled or spelt, I think we can use either—wrong?

And then there's Dragonball Z. That's zee, not zed. It's the name of the show. It's in the theme song! I am calling it what it is called. People don't complain when I say café that I'm speaking French instead of Australian English, so why do they complain when I say “Dragonball Zee”. Yes, it is zee, and yes, it is american.

And so is this word. That's your clue. Good luck :)

A·M·E·R·I·C·A·N *snickers* Obvious to all now, isn't it? Congrats to Amanda!

Letters guessed: V, P, R

•  MuzeKez said:

  I'd like a "V" for va va vooooom, please. :-)

•  Ben said:

  That's a nah-uh, the word is not favorite.

•  Pickwick said:

  I'd like to call a moratorium on anyone else guessing until I can get one.
  
  I'd also like a P, please kind sir!

•  Ben said:

  No P-ing in the pool, and no P in this word, sorry!

•  Pickwick said:

  You're rude and I find your clues obscure! Argh! So many words that don't fit!

•  Pickwick said:

  Oh, I meant to request another letter, also...
  
  um... an R please. Can you tell I have no idea?

•  Ben said:

  I will give you an R. I would feel too cruel otherwise :)

•  Amanda said:

  Yes, it is zee, and yes, it is american.
  
  And so is this word. That's your clue. Good luck :)I guess AMERICAN :)

•  Pickwick said:

  Perhaps a T for how terrific I feel at getting a letter for once:D

•  Ben said:

  By golly Amanda has done it! Excellent sleuthing there :)
  
  Sorry Pickwick, you need to look harder to find answers hidden in plain sight ;)

•  Amanda said:

  By the way, this part: is it spelled or spelt - I've written "spelt" to my American and Canadian friends heaps of times and they pick me up on it every time. And every time I reply with "Well it's right here so shuddup." As you can see, I handle it absolute maturity.

•  Amanda said:

  WOOHOO!! I won! But.. this means I have to "host" hangman now doesn't it? :O

•  Ben said:

  Absolutely, hop to it, we're all waiting!! :)

•  Amanda said:

  Ok, ready to go :D

•  MuzeKez said:

  *applauds* Oh well done Amanda, you clever cookie! :-)
