Having monotony and monotone on the same quiz is somewhat problematic for this request. I decided to replace monotony with monomania. Monotonous will now be accepted for monotone.
missed monomania, never heard of it, tried monophilia and mononymous, also hadnt heard of it and tried mononym mononomen. couldnt get the right mix of latin and english..
Happy and a bit surprised I got monotremes. When I read the clue I thought ow yea they are in one group, but I have never learned that name, nor consciously looked at it when coming across is, just mon..blabla reading on. So somehow my subconscious picked it up! because I got/guessed it right. But well eventhough it felt like a guess to me, getting it right in one clearly means I must have stored it even if I wasnt paying attention.
So totally happy with 15/17 the average is pretty high on this quiz with 13/15 imo, maybe because it is still new?
And I guess to others monomania is rather wellknown? because it got guessed quite a decent amount of times (more than the single oxygen question)
Maybe it doesnt occur everywhere ;) jk but perhaps in other place it is perhaps classified as part of another disorder? I find it very strange I have never heard about it (and it is not guessed like 10% but 64% so it is something known outthere)
Couldn't the clue be changed slightly to make mononym the right answer? So if people tried mononymous they'd still get it. I tried mononym several times, it never occurred to me to add '-ous' as I've never heard it said like that.
Same tried mononym, then all sorts of spelling variation then gave up. There are tons of things on this site that have awkward cut-offs (and are still around) with awkard I mean the remaining word does not mean anything (so not like cutting the s off of plurals, I got used to that. But like marseil for Marseille (just an example). This "cut-off" would at least be the result of an existing worf, that firsc the clue (though indeed not 100% because of the phrasing)
Pedant alert! I don't think "monoxide" has the full mono prefix. Technically, the second "o" is the first "o" of oxide, rather than part of "mono". Pedantic, I know, but also some compounds with one O don't even use monoxide, they just use "oxide". Long live pedantry! Nice quiz, though :-)
Where I live in Australia, the full name for the infectious disease known as mono is "glandular fever". Still got the answer, but it took a while to recall it since it's never used here.
