Well, as a native Virginian I can tell you it used to be spelled "Potomack" and "Potowmack" on old colonial-era maps. The Indians who named it didn't really have much of a writing system, so the English spelled it different ways at different times, based on what the word sounded like to them.

Prosecutor represents the state and in trials with a prosecutor there's no defendant. Plaintiff is the person in a civil case who is sueing the defendant. So no.

WHAT DO YOU mean that in trials with a prosecutor, there is no defendant? Who, then, is the prosecutor prosecuting? I believe you mean that in a trial where there is a prosecutor, the plaintiff is the State, not an individual.
MasterKenobi

Oct 16, 2018
Yeah, I think you mean there's no plaintiff. Civil and criminal cases both have defendants. In civil cases they're being sued by a plaintiff; in criminal cases they're being tried by the prosecution.

Great quiz - but you have made one error.

Petrol is the British word for petrol - not for gasoline.

Gasoline is the American word for petrol

It's very interesting - e.g. apparently Charles Darwin could never explain how flowering plants came about by evolution, and was always troubled by it. We still don't know for sure (as far as I know, I'm not a paleobotanist :) since they seem to have come about suddenly and spread everywhere very quickly, which are not characteristics of evolution. Article about it recently on the BBC website:

I agree plaintiff is the correct answer but maybe petitioner should be accepted (prosecutor is wrong). From the "Petitioner" Wikipedia article: "The petitioner may seek a legal remedy if the state or another private person has acted unlawfully. In this case, the petitioner, often called a plaintiff, will submit a plea to a court to resolve the dispute."

Such a person is called a pursuer in Scotland - another 'p' answer! (But to be fair, the 'victim' is the defender, not defendant.)

Could Pucci be accepted as an alternate answer for "Italian high fashion brand"? Both are owned by LVMH, which is a luxury fashion conglomerate.
