How bad of a speller are you?

[Terry_Lasater]

Take a test.

 

[Erik Olson]

Missed 6 out of 50 - vicious was just sloppy midnight oversight. Okay, no more excuses. Well, maybe just one...

Their inclusion of words like septuagenarian is a little over the top. I mean, how often am I going to have to spell that after tonight?

[Jared Meyer]

That was humbling.

I took all five tests. Here are the ones I missed:

coliseum/colliseum
harass/harrass
cemetery/cemetary
embarrass/embarass
questionnaire/questionaire
commemorate/comemmorate
daiquiri/daquiri
supersede/supercede
accommodate/accomodate
consensus/concensus
poinsettia/pointsettia

Missed 11 out of 250.

 

[Terry_Lasater]

Wow, only 11 missed out of 250?! Very good!

 

[brianluce]

I don't need to take it, I already know I'm horrible...

 

[Drew Ott]

I took the first because it's too late.

missed:

pistachio
coliseum
septuagenarian

Should have missed irascible but I got lucky. Never heard of "irascible" or "septuagenarian".

I'll bet he had it saved somewhere on his computer, copied and pasted it into the search, and viola.

Uh oh. If you need any support with that, maybe you should get help from the DNA.

Terry,

That's really cool. It rdeas jsut as fsat as if it wree all in the rghit odrer. Man, 249 out of 250 makes me wonder a little. I must be slipping.

[JConnors]

Missed 7 outta 50.

 

[Robbie Comeau]

So technically you would miss 35 out of 250. Right? How's my math?

 

[Rick Meyer]

Ironically, I mispelled the word misspell.
