I'm always tempted to spell dugong as Dewgong because I play too much Pokemon.

I actually had that as an acceptable spelling for that reason when i created the quiz, but the Quizmaster must have changed it.

Dingo? No. Ringo. Ringo Starr.

But Ringo Starr was the drummer for The Beatles, not The Animals. :P

Actually, it wasn't the bell sound 'Ring', like ringing a bell, it was the bell sound 'Ding', like 'Ding-dong', the classic written bell sound.

Therefore, Dingo.

This was a fun quiz. No matter how many times I typed Infringe Eureka, it wouldn't accept it...

Maybe should accept bongo as well as dingo?

I wasn't aware of the bongo until your comment. Although in all fairness, if I came up with a clue for "bong" it probably wouldn't have to do with a bell.

Yep, my first guess. Bong is a bell sound and a bongo is a type of antelope.

This quiz doesn't translate well across the pond for two reasons. first it contains a lot of dubious pronounciations ("puma"?) and secondly some words are just different - in UK, for example, a pig lives in a stye.

I think you mean sty, though if you have a pig in your infected eye then fair enough.

Indeed. I was surprised to see that apparently somewhere in the USA it is possible to pronounce both Bach and Bok using the same sounds. That just does my head in. I was also stumped by the pigsty/pigpen issue for a while.

I pronounce Bach and bok differently but I still figured it out. Similarly, I don't pronounce it "Crockett aisle" but the sounds were close enough. That's part of the fun, to me.

Could "stop opposite" be reworded as "opposite of 'stop'"? In its current phrasing, I thought it meant "to stop opposite [something]".

Yeah, I did exactly the same thing and assumed it was a US term I wasn't familiar with. I don't usually quibble much but I think the phrasing of that clue could definitely be improved.

So these (and all clues in my Word Puzzles series) are written in a manner similar to American crosswords. Short clues without prepositions or articles that may have a bit of ambiguity. I tried to be consistent with what I would find in a Sunday crossword.

"Quarterback Newton + Chicago Rail System" - pairing those two clues up seems specifically designed to spite anyone who isn't American.
