I think the word you're going for is supposed to be part of a genus name for a bird, but isn't that Latin? Aren't we limited to English words?

Well, I can't find anything that says the word is not English, or that it is strictly Latin. It's listed over at dictionary.com, so I would think that it is accepted as an English word.

It's in there saying it's the genus of a bird...or a fish or other thigs

The genus names are always Latin. Everywhere I looked it was in italics which is to indicate that it is Latin.

There is the page over at dictionary.com. All it says is that it is a noun. Nothing about being a Latin derivative, which I'm sure it is, but isn't almost every word we use today?
EDIT: deleted link as to not show the word. Although, whoever continues doesn't have choice. I'm pretty sure there is only one outcome here.

Alright, as long as animorperhv1 says it's okay then I'm cool with it. I didn't say the word

. So that no one else would know what to spell.

If Italian's use English, that counts.

The word that you guys are looking for is the Italian name for the cassowary. This isn't english.

And if it counts I beleive Poptart gets a letter since she spelled the plurel form of it.

I can't find that 'casuari' is a word. And the word I knew this would lead to is an English word.

So what is it? Should we let this in or let it pass. Personally I don't think it should count since it's Italian.

Well, william18, that was my whole argument! I was saying that it's not English and that it shouldn't count! So while I was waiting on animorpherv1 to get in the conversation I took my turn so that I wouldn't be in trouble for not taking my turn. You can see me arguing w/ Sentinel XIV about it. But the word he's spelling is actually not that word. I'll send the link for the word to animorpherv1.

oh. my bad. I only look at the letters right then and there, since I don't even know half of these letters could even make words.

yeah, I'm taking that letter off (sorry about that) william, you can continue on the current word. I'm going to be first out, I can tell it.

I was confused, william. Apparently, you and I are thinking of different words. There can be an English word spelled from the current batch of letters. Let's see who end up with the letter.
