- Round 9: under the rules in force at the time (for verbs listed in COD 7, agent nouns in common usage accepted and assumed to take -er endings), DOMINATER is acceptable, despite the fact that it is commonly known that dominatOR is the correct spelling (which presumably would have been disallowed!).
