I have a question.
do misspelled words count, if they are written as they are in the book?
I found "visa versa". that made me laugh, but then it made me wonder :D

Hmmmm..that's weird Rosa! You are right, that should be "vise versa". Since we are just starting this search I'm going to say no - but keep it in your back pocket in case you don't find it in the next couple months. If it doesn't show up in another place use it.
I even googled it because I thought maybe you can write it in English that way :D
Now I'm missing a word. In German, when you take a foreign word and spell it different so it's more like German you call it Germanized. How would you say that when it happens with English? Englishized?

Yes!! I would also take ASSASSIN.
