Could the compiler have made a mistake with 1?

Permit = ALLOW
Argon = A
If you replace the W (instead of L) with A
you will get ALLOA

Thanks, gen2, but I looked up Google for Argon and found "ar" so that would make Alloa a "sound alike" as well as a mistake. Surely that would be bad. Thanks, anyway. Any thoughts on the other one? Might be an anagram of a fish?
It depends how long ago the compiler went to school.
The symbol for argon is now Ar, but up until 1957 it was A.
As for the fish one:

Ayr is an anagram of Ray.
