These are accurate (with a little wiggle room) to the Midwestern USA English accent I grew up with. Hopefully they will mainly cross the gamut of spoken English, but I apologize if they don't.

(But if they don't, you can laugh at the 'crazy American-speak'.)

wow, i had the word parts for #8, just couldn't recognize the sound of them together-- until I saw it spelled by Dudley Dude!

There really is a trapagon, by the way, but it is spelled trapegon, which makes it not a fit --- these were a lot of fun, TL, please make more!

try + plan = triplane?

Off Topic: Above I posted that there was such a thing as a trapegon. I am mistaken. I cannot find a reliable source. Just a bad memory, I guess.

You missed on #4, but the rest were right!

Still just #2 to go ... There are alternate wordings possible, which if no one gets it by tomorrow I'll put up.

As worded is just what I thought of first, and since it made me laugh I decided to keep it. Someone can probably go after it if you find what's missing among the answers.

Edit @ chicory - NP! I apparently make up stuff all the time & swear it's real or remember doing something.
