    Little did we know that 12 years later, Matt would win 38 games on Jeopardy!
    Season 38 was the season of ultrachampions, one of my favorites apart from Season 35

      He is just following the good old American tradition of omitting the final "e" in foreign words. Thus we have Al Capon', Sylvester Stallon', calzon', provolon', Schadenfreud', Deutsch' Mark, etc.
