Two are clearly from Brits (spelling) and Shufitz is not British, so that leaves seven. Hmmmm... Darned if I know! Oh, what the heck - #9, as in assi9!

If you are relying on me as a bell-wether I'd forget it. I haven't the faintest idea which is correct for this word. In fact, I now feel fairly sure that 6 is wrong, and would probably go for another if asked again.

Wall Street Journal, July 2, 2007, page 1: Quartets Contend With Disharmony [subhead] Kibbers and the New Kids Differ a Lot About Style; How to Enliven the Genre: To make barbershop seem less like grandpa music, the society loosened the rules for its annual competition, allowing contestants to sing modern songs with hipper, contemporary arrangements.

"They're screwing it up!" snaps purist Marty Mendro, 93 years old and a barbershop legend.
