There should be a clarification that British variations could be used. I had no idea what word ended in "dour".

Not the British version, it's the "non-USA" version, or the common version in English.

there is no need to be rude. he just didn't realize it was spelled like that. there is no harm in calling it a british variation.

That was a pretty neat quiz. I thought of Osage at first for some reason, too. And I learned a new word (whinge)...thanks!

Whinge isn't used much in the USA, we usually say "whine" or "complain" instead. I mostly know it from Jetpunk.

We're suddenly going with British spellings? - "odour v. odor" and, pray tell, what is a whinge?

Not in the US. However, I've read enough Brit Lit that I knew the word (once I saw it in the answers, that is). I didn't get it in time.

'Kneed' is past tense of 'knee' as in 'I kneed him in the groin'? As opposed to 'kneading' flour?

"Whinge" almost got me.

This is, in itself, a whinge.
