Palpation. Okay, I missed too many of the letters and I think it means something different? Mutilation is also probably not quite "a deep tear or cut".

I believe that in the United States, 'tuition' is used in the way that 'tuition fee' is used elsewhere. What might be useful is if Quizmaster changed the definition to read: 'Money paid for education (USA)' or something to that effect.

I think "speciation" could also be a viable answer. It's a specific process within evolution where two populations can no longer interbreed viably and therefore are in that case now seperate species. lol thanks

Got 17, not bad :) would never have known assumption (sounds odd, so they assume she ascended?) had deportation instead of extradition. And didn't get conjunction, I don't know all the grammatical terms for things in english, just some. The rest somehow always seem to slip my mind right after i read them (it is hard enough to remember them in my own language. Somehow I do fine on extremely difficult words, but terminology... it never seems to make lasting impression ;) )
