I also wondered about MISTAKED but we were wise to avoid it.<br /><br />PARRING is tricky; PAR is listed as a verb, and clearly the right participle is PARRING rather than PARING (which is the participle for PARE). However, the Macquarie does not list it explicitly so a strict reading of the rules would be against it (due to the required insertion of the extra R).<br /><br />In other words, you're clearly right, but the combination of the show's rules and the Macquarie's inconsistencies might have worked against you if this had come up then.<br /><br />Nice choice of DIKTATS, by the way.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-50529107728814857212013-05-25T21:39:29.045+10:002013-05-25T21:39:29.045+10:00I'm back, had no internet for the past week.

I assume the groan was because you noticed that REPORT is not valid (duplicated the R). Bad luck!
