	The recently published quiz, "Missing Vowels" was fun and it was challenging! Here is its partner! It will be challenging - I hope it will be fun, too!

	It's amazing how many times I thought you had made an error on the country of Oceania...and how stupid I feel for missing the holiday. I guess those are just signs of a good quiz...well done, definitely sequel-worthy.

	The fact that Six Feet Under works for the Emmy winner's letters confused me at first. Nicely done though.

	Well, I'll be! Six Feet Under is an Emmy winner! So, we now have two acceptable answers for that clue (or should I change the clue?)

	Ukraine isn't in the European Union.

	@hartfan Not only is Ukraine not in the European Union, it is no longer in my quiz! You can read a map better than I can! Thanks!

	You've got "y" right in trigonometry, but you forgot it for Alicia Keys; if it's not in the onset, it's always a vowel. Otherwise, good quiz.

	The Roald Dahl book is "Fantastic Mr. Fox"; the word "mister" isn't spelled out in the title. (Also, JHEL: you're right that the quiz needs to be consistent in whether it calls "Y" a vowel, but you're not really quite right about "onset" mattering--see my comment over at "states that end in a consonant".)

	@Tahnan - too bad about Mr Fox - it was topical (though people still weren't getting it)! I couldn't think of a good way to represent the vowelless "Mr.", so I changed the book to something more obvious! Hope that's okay!

	@JHEL: I agree with Tahnan, it has nothing to do with the onset or not. It's has to do with it's placement in the syllable. If it sounds like a vowel, it's a vowel. The "e" in Keys contributes to the vowel sound so the y is a consonant.

	Well, I learned something. I thought Hummer was a nickname - I didn't realize it's actually the brand name.

	Missed the TV show and the animated film...I figured it was an old classic but couldn't think of it. Good quiz! A lot harder than you'd think!

	Hummer is no longer being made and has been discontinued since GM could not find a buyer. Other than that, great quiz!
