13/15 here!
I too thought the word was "mischevious"...interesting that I've been spelling it that way all this time, never realizing that I was completely wrong. And to think I'm usually such a stickler for spelling!
(I just really wanted a reason to use that sheep!!!)

A past tense and a past participle of spell.

Hmm,
I went to dictionary.com and got this:

spelt

n. A hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe.
v. How some guy from Canada spells the past tense of 'spell'.

What I really want to know - does is a 'Hydroaxe' a thing that's used to cut the hardy wheat? 'Cause if it's that hardy, one may need some sort of ax, and probably a hydro-powered one, at the very least.

Not that's what I would call overkill.
...Or that must be some really hardy wheat.

Yes. Luckily, no one has really noticed the user title change. It could be worse though!

Under the cats, mostly.
Hrmn "You are practically a human dictionary"... 15. Well that's gotta be good. I thought they'd have put up some more difficult words though to be honest.... I'm not sure that words you use on a regular basis (with the possible exception of Bureaucracy) are that tough. Maybe that's just me though

When I first started that test I did get a bit worried as I thought that I was getting them all wrong...

But, I got 12 out of 15 so I am happy with that
