Thank god for spell checkers.

That's why I have the best editor in the whole wide world.

I got 13/15. I cant believe I got "Weird" wrong. I even said the i before e rule, which I didnt learn till I was 16 or 17.

I also got grateful wrong.

 

The only one I really guessed at was millennium, and I figured Million had two L's so would millennium.

 

And yet, I had no problem with dumbbell...

The English language offers plenty of everyday terms that can trip up even the best spellers. How hard could this quiz be with just two choices for each word? You may be surprised!

15/15 I'll admit to guessing once or twice.

 

That was a fun quiz. Thanks for linking it. I find homonyms give me more trouble as a writer and editor than does spelling. Here

Lol, 14/15. I thought I was going to fail miserably, I was pretty shocked... Really, dumbbell? *shrug* I guessed on that one and the two b's just looked funny. *drops head*

15/15. I thought the quiz had minuscule wrong, since I've always spelled it miniscule. After a Google search, turns out I was wrong...

15 out of 15 for me. I've always been a good speller, much to the irritation of my friends. I can't seem to refrain from checking restaurant menus for misspellings. In fact, there's a typo on the "About GA" page on this site that I'm itching to point out to the powers that be, but it's good discipline for me to keep my OCD in check.
