I had to guess for the "american" spellings. I figured I'd just have to take out an e or u somewhere. I ended up with 20.
We should be more like the dutch, where letters or vowel combinations each only sound one way. Then words would always be spelled the way they sound (and visa versa).
I scored 18 correct - fair which for me is pretty good - I rely on spell check - but you have to recognize the correct spelling on that also. Good test - sending it to Bernie who will prob score 100% if he pays attention...
Okay, my spelling is poor :-)
ReplyDelete...as long as you beat me, it's all good, right?
ReplyDeleteFor the official record, I got 14 correct, BUT, I was doing it after 2 glasses of wine at 11:30pm at night...
y'know... 'cause the dyslexia wasn't enough ;)
Un-freakin-believable... I scored 100% correct answers. It's not boasting--I'm just amazed.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congrats!
Delete...and that certainly is a thing to boast about!

Yeah, I had to guess too, which was probably half the problem when I was that tired :)
DeleteGood for you! 20, that's awesome!

ps - bernie got 8 wrong so 19 correct - must have been a hard test...
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty good, 18 for you, 19 for Bernie :) Some of them were really hard! Like, they all looked wrong!
Delete63% Once you stare at the wrong answers long enough, you just can't see the right one anymore.
ReplyDeleteI got an 89%, 24 out of 27! I was the spelling bee queen in my third grade class... good to know I've still got it ;)
