Take a common one-syllable English word and turn it into a common three-syllable English word by adding just one letter. The single extra letter can be inserted at the front of, anywhere within, or at the end of the one-syllable word, but the other letters may not have their order changed. (If you know more than one solution please feel free to show off.)
Several of you offered are-area. Nobody wanted to show off.
What about:
Rome Romeo
Came cameo
Rode rodeo

Pilot's shoe-size?
This aircraft is tough, butt-ugly and very dangerous to be on the wrong side of. It well deserves the nickname Warthog.
What links the River Avon, the hoi polloi, Mount Fujiyama, a DVD disc and a pizza pie?
Pleonasms,
follow the link for more further extra illuminating elaboration.

Redundancy. "Avon" means river, "hoi polloi" already includes the definite article, "Fujiyama" means Mount Fuji, the second D in "DVD" stands for disc, and "pizza" is Italian for pie. |

What small but close neighbour did we discover only in 1995?
Sorry everybody. This was a mistake. It should have been 1994, when we finally discovered our nearest galactic neighbour, sagDEG, the Sagitarrius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy. I discovered the error too late to correct it. Several reasonable looking answers were marked correct.

Jim
How did Jim turn things around and make a name for himself in the Eighties?

Midge Ure, lead singer for Ultravox: "My name's Jim, James, and there was already a Jim [McGinlay] in this established band [Salvation] in Glasgow and I was just a kid joining, so he said 'From now on you are Midge'. Which is Jim backwards. That's it! As crap as it may sound, that's it." |

I also find two bad tempered women, what are they?
|
Viper, virtuoso, visor, vitriol, vocalist, vole, vortex and wafer. And virago and vixen. |
