==Amerikkka==

I question whether all but the first of those citations are allowable. — Beobach 01:18, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Question all you want, but I find it pointless to try and work on more citations with nothing more than a vague question. And seriously, Google Books has dozens of uses, so I don't see how you could deny it exists.--Prosfilaes 02:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Interesting! Earlier, there was almost nothing on Google Books; now, as you note, there are a great many examples. It's happened before that I look a word up and find only a few citations, go back later and find one more has appeared, but it's never been this dramatic. Amerikkkan and Amerikkkans have more now, too. Well, I'm persuaded that they're real, now. — Beobach 03:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I have added another citation of a book, because I do question whether an album is "durably archived". I'll add a few more book citations to these words and strike them as passed. — Beobach 03:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

===Amerikkkan===

These were spotted by Squidonius, it would be nice to add some cites given that they have "possibly wrong" triple letters. Conrad.Irwin 14:58, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I've cited Amerikkkan, someone else cited Amerikkka.--Prosfilaes 03:43, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Amerikkkan seems to be cited, though just barely (and the plural Amerikkkans seems to be barely attestable, too). Amerikkka, as I note above, may not be. — Beobach 01:18, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Alright, Amerikkka, Amerikkkans, and Amerikkkan as an adjective seem to be cited, but I'm having trouble citing Amerikkkan as a noun (eg "an Amerikkkan"). Anything on usenet? — Beobach 04:12, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Unless there's a reason to doubt that it's used as a singular noun, I wouldn't worry about it. I mean, this isn't even a distinct word, but just a politicized way of spelling American; even North Amerikkkan (meaning "North American") is attestable from b.g.c., and this Usenet post refers to the movie American Pie as "AmeriKKKan pie". But if it's keeping you up at night — this book seems to use it as a noun at least twice, though annoyingly Google Books isn't willing to show me any of the relevant pages. Or, for some Usenet cites: [1][2][3][4]. —Ruakh_TALK 05:53, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
