How good is your spelling?

I missed 12

Got 3 wrong - it's your American spelling that did me in on them!

I am actually the best speller I know..I got 48 out of 50, just because the 2 words I got wrong, I chose the Canadian spelling I would have got a perfect score!!

Can you tell I always brag about my brilliant spelling?

I missed two: irascible and indispensable. I don't think I can blame it on being an American in Canada, though.

I got five wrong.

I got 13 wrong, but spelling without a spell checker or access to a dictionary is hard for me because I'm dyslexic and my brain doesn't always "see" what my eyes are seeing. Some of those words I really had to look at to see any difference in their spelling.

I LOVE grammer/spelling. DH and my mom get mad at me because I'm constantly correcting them.
My mom and friends often call me to spell something for them

I also write my mom's monthly reports for her to give to her supervisor

I got 1 wrong - harass rather than harrass. I've anal about spelling also, and hate spelling words wrong, or not knowing how to spell things correctly. I read heaps as a kid, and prided myself in my spelling

I don't think any words in Test 1 were spelt different to Australian spelling...

Yup, I have a knack for picking up typos in anything. People always send me links for webpages/documents and things like that for me to proof read...

I got 5 wrong, but I would have gotten more wrong if I wasn't aware that this was an AMERICAN spelling test, and so I went for the American spellings where appropriate! Humourous has a U in the middle in the UK for example.

I got 6 wrong.

Same result, test 2.

I missed 13, and the funny thing is that a lot of the ones I got right were only right because they are constantly popping up on my spell checker! In fact, I rarely, if ever, post anything here without cutting and pasting it to a word document and running the spell check - that's how bad it is!

One of my favorite quotes:

"I respect a man who knows how to spell a word more than one way."*
- Mark Twain

ME TOO!!!

not even going to try,
i just going assume i got 45 wrong lol

If you do nothing but click "check my spelling" you'll only miss 17!
