#18 Veto. Un corse la finira translates from the Italian as...

Hey Veto, Why day keepa onna da fighta inna da France?

Then Italian translated and rearranged to English gives us the answer...

A révolution is France.

Simple huh?

What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour.

re;What I don't get, Milum, is why you spell humor humour.

it could be an affectation, or just because he is in the spirit of the anagrams, or maybe, just i spell grey (correctly, our friends of pond pointed out) and not gray -- (and actually i use both) it might just be something Mr.M does just because he does.

Mind you, i think spelling is hard enough with out extra letters, and would be pleased with fewer, not more letters, 'nuf said!

I spell humor humour anna in order to suck up to the British. It might come in handy. There's a move afoot to make England the 51st state.

Moving right along...

O POISON PITT

is a rather recent construction. The answer is...

POT IS OPTION

( Note the poor use of articles)

Point is: comical trade does not equal: "a calm creditor" since there's one too many "r's" in "a calm creditor," as was pointed out above.

However, the little-known trade:

lamioccarted

would be a solution, but this particular comical trade is so little-known, that it ain't in a single dictionary.

So, back to the drawing board...
