Jackanapes = mischievous child - j (just started) + (on) a + anagram (mess) of pancakes  A word I've not seen or heard for a while!

OED seems to be used quite often in crosswords over here to mean dictionary, but then it is a British dictionary: I thought that the sneaky part of this clue was the misdirection in using Latin dictionary to mean LOED. In any event, you can now locate this about your person: ===[**WCF**]===

Apologies for the lateness of the hints  Direct on the right One synonym, one anagram cvcvc cvccv Wordplay 3+7 "Volume" does not refer to loudness...

Extra clue: This was set by a Brit - our transatlantic cousins would probably define it as cvcvc cvcvc

Ho-kay... The vowels: -u-i- -e-e- (UK) -u-i- -e--e (US) Methinks I hear the sound of water being heated

Still no takers - I fear the noodles are softening nicely
Looking for a 3-letter synonym for "youngster" which has a u in the middle, adding the adjusted letters of "met Eric" (not necessarily a true anagram in the strictest sense) and splitting these 10 letters to give two words which are a volume. And the second word is spelt differently is the US to what it is in the UK
All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

Thank you! The clue was perfectly legal, Rog, on both sides of the pond.  Manners may be extra special, at first (5)
