Here's the final clues, folks: #18...take Fiberbabe's French offering, add a word that is in the anagram already. #9...see answer to #27, add extra name. #19...anachronistic use of extra syllable on common word. #12...see an answer already given and add a definite article, dammit!  Can I make it any plainer than that!? Ready?....go!!!...

Okay, Dub-Dub...we know you wanted a trophy, too! So we'll give you second runner-up for the MCOS Awards for #19...Medical Actor! Just, uh, keep your acceptance speech short, please...or the producer will blink the lights on you. "I'd just like to thank my thesaurus, my dictionary, my Anagram Server, etc..." should sum it up nicely.

in other words: I NEED HELP! I don't want this thread to disappear before I get the last few answers.
Is #18 la 'revolution francaise' (there's no room for an extra la) or 'France is a revolution'?

Good thing you posted, boronia! I was just getting ready to post the answers due to the inactivity! #18. La Revolution Francaise!...Yay! (see how close you were, Fiberbabe?) That leaves 9, 12, and 19.

you could go back and check the date and time, but as you were starting anagrams 2, i solved #12
O poison Pitt= top position (one of the Pitts was PM at the time, right?)

Whittman, you are now outa your two-story dyslex and crawling down in my cave, which is "Math"! Count 'em... 18. Francaise Revolution_________ 19 letters. 18. Veto. Un corse la finira_______ 19 letters. 18. La francaise revolution_________ 21 letters. And who did you designate as the winner? Boronia or fiberbabe? (Don't make me go through the entire 36 words, I will if necessary.)

number of lettermilum, you're right...this is verbatim from the book, however....I didn't catch the discrepancy, sorry... Or this one, for which I'm sure to get lynched (my turn for the rope, Faldage! )...after milum's astute observation I went back and looked at the other three that remain...also from the book verbatim. However, according to the solution offered for "O poison Pitt", #12.. The Opposition...the "O" would require an "h" as in "Oh", wouldn't it?  Which gets me to wondering, once again, if the folks who republished this historic text preserved the inaccuracies intentionally, or just did a sloppy production job with so many typos...I'm still leaning toward the former, though....why go through the painstaking process of preserving a text like this and not proofread for new errors? The solution for #9: Charles James Stuart. Probably too obscure without the royal title to torture you any longer. Kin to James Stuart, of course. But #19 is accurate and should be fairly evident if you add the extra syllable (suffix).
