	Congrats, Caramba. A well-deserved front pager!

	I'm surprised Ulaanbaatar wasn't there.

	I know it couldn't logistically be on the quiz, but simply "aa" is actually a word. Just your Fact of the Day.

	@rockgolf Thanks for all of your input - I know it was your mention of this quiz in a comments section that got it played so much. @cigarette Of course it should have been there - my old school brain still thinks "Ulan Bator". @hscer I was originally going to title the quiz Hawaiian Lava, but it was too obscure, even for me. Thanks for playing my quiz everyone - the followup "Be a BB King or Queen" is ready to play at http://www.sporcle.com/user/caramba/contributed

	Tough quiz! Could've included Bataan, Philippines, as in the "Bataan Death March" in WWII.

	How funny that Aardvark is a real animal name. It's derived from the Dutch Aardvarken (= Earth Pig). I can't believe I missed Afrikaans, but when I read 11 I immediately assumed it'd be one I don't know.

	I kept trying to type Roger Maris with to A's in every possible way... then I reread the Babe Ruth hint and felt ashamed of my shortcomings as a sporcler.

	I was sad at the exclusion of Lord Farquaad, from Shrek... great quiz though!!

	I'm rarely shocked at how many people miss answers here, but 90% missing the nursery rhyme one I am genuinely very surprised at!

	@Speenatch - Excellent QC profile pic!

	I like "aardwolf" as a bonus answer. Still don't know why I thought of it before "aardvark," though. -_-'

	The inclusion of Haakon is kind of dubious. In Norwegian, aa is not understood as a double a, but rather as an old or alternative way of writing the letter å (which is a separate, independent letter with its own place in the Norwegian alphabet, and not an a with a diacritic). If you had a last name that started with an Aa, such as e.g. Aas, your name would be listed in the phone book under Å, not under A. So while it is perfectly reasonable that the name Haakon to outsiders would be understood as containing a double a, it technically is a case of a name with an old transcription of the letter å.

	No Aamco? That's Aamco, double a honk, honk, mco.

	I think this list could also be titled "Misspelled Sporcle Words II"

	I don't think abbreviations such as NCAA belong as words. Otherwise, a pretty good, but tough quiz.

	caramba:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 12:59 GMT		0 points
	@Salmon you have a good point re Haakon (or Håkon) but, as this is a generally english-speaking community, I decided to use the English transliteration - many users may not have the ability to type å on their keyboards. Wikipedia uses the AA spelling. It is the reason I rejected Godthåb, the old name for Nuuk, which I had always seen spelled as Godthaab (capital of Greenland). By the way, if something happens to King Harald, I will have to change the seven in the clue to eight.

	Go listen to "Planet Rock" or "Looking For The Perfect Beat" on Youtube, 3 percent knowing Afrika Bambaataa is ridiculous.

	Salmon:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 13:53 GMT		3 points
	@caramba: Hehe, I guess you could always save Godthåb/Nuuk for when you do the double u version of this quiz. ^^

	@jonnywardy: Afrikaan would mean African and hence make no sense.

	Is it too late to add Haagen Dazs to the most commonly misspelled Sporcle words?
