[QUOTE=brujaja] Dolores: Don’t feel bad – _ **my entire life** _ I have thought a dipthong was a two-consonant combination sound, & proudly used it that way. Last night, I found out it’s a two-vowel sound. How embarrassing. [/QUOTE] Well, the bad thing is I _know_ the difference. My brain just malfunctioned. It seems like that is happening more and more the older I get. 😛 But now I know what a dipthong is - thanks! 😃 ---

I’m going to have to sit this one out, I just don’t know bands well enough. But without looking I do want to predict the one answer I do know, that I think will be a conch. #10 has got to be KISS, right? ---

This one has been fun to read. \*\*SSG \*\* **Schwartz** , I got a kick out of Oink Floyd too. 😃 I didn’t even put the Beatles for the insect/arachnid one even though I should have. I wanted to go with Steve Miller Band for number 1, and flirted with putting ABBA for the acronym. I thought this one might score pretty low simply for the sheer volume of possible responses, but there are a couple which have clear winners. Thanks for doing these **Dolores**! ---
