Yes, it depends on whether you are from the planet earth or not.

15/15 here. I would have been disappointed in myself for anything less. My daughter tells her friends never to argue with me when it comes to spelling or grammar.

Nope I didn't know that, but then again, I don't know a whole lot of things.

i got this...Great work!
You are practically a human dictionary! You got 14/15 correct.
i'm not sure i agree with them, tho. they said ...
Incorrect
The correct answer: A Mischievous
,,,,,,,,Your answer: B Mischevious
The mischievous girl caused trouble where she could.
i pronounce these 2 differently from each other... miss-chi-vus & miss-chee-vee-us. i thought there were 2 different words!

14/15-I pronounce mischievous as miss-chee-vee-ous, also!
This type test is easy for me, if I have 2 choices I can usually guess right if I don't already know the answer.

My dd, who will be 22 on Sunday, had such trouble with spelling on standardized tests! She could spell pretty well on her own, but when it was on a test with several choices, for some reason she tended to pick the wrong spelling!

Its a small mind that can think of only one way to spell a word -Thomas Jefferson

well, see, in MY mind, miss-chee-vee-us is spelt mischievious. miss-chi-vus is spelt mischievous. i consider them 2 different words, with 2 different pronounciations but 1 meaning... go figure!

14/15 here. I always mispell definite as definate (I like to think of it as my cute little quirk), but got that right. I confused embarass for embarrass.
