Postfix doesn't work, it's definition isn't the opposite of either of the two definitions of prefix

If you tried to use that word in the New Yorker magazine, a well-paid editor would circle it in red ink and force you to change it.

I really do love the quiz. I love words that end in X! And here we are again a few months later and had the same problem again. Didn't remember Pollux. Should really study up on my Greek mythology.

Spent about 20 minutes trying to spell Victorinox for Swiss luxury watchmaker. Maybe consider accepting it? While not as luxurious as Rolex, it is not a cheap watch either.

Got all but one with 3:15 to spare, pretty proud of that (with english being a foreign language). I didnt know the capital of nova scotia, now I see the answer, I heard of the word, but even backwards, I wouldnt have known it was the capital of nova scotia.

Great quiz, sore point is pyrex. It is very US specific (I think), definitely not a global brand like Xerox. Can we replace that question with something else?

Not really. Here's Pyrex's UK website, their EU website, and their Australian website, for instance.

Francoise Hardy was singing about Pyrex in like 1967 so they must at least have had it in France then. (See it all the time in the UK these days)

I also tried sphynx first, but since it is sphinx in my language, I still got it.

After some investigation, I found that sphinx is also the correct spelling in english, but you sometimes also see sphynx (a breed of cats, a band, song or albums,...)
