I thought I was doing really well. Ended up missing 16. It seems spell checker has made me look smarter than I actually am.

I missed 13. Fortunately for me, all of them are words I never use in my everyday vocabulary!

Well I hate to break the bubble, but the test is wrong.

I reported a few errors to the webmaster.

This one gave it away :supersede

There are definitely some bugs in that test. Missed 6, was only uncertain about one. "Seperate" and "separate" are two words with two different meanings, right? So how do you know which one to spell?

I apparently got one wrong.

But as one of the bowers said:

Seperate & Separate have 2 different meanings

The words chosen are scramble the brain words & they were presented all at once.
People are bound to get mixed up because of this.

I wonder everyone would do if the words were more difficult ?

Perhap the webmaster there could try it the English way instead of screwing up ?

Well, I guess the CONSENSUS here is that we need to INOCULATE ourselves from the DESPERATE TYRANNY of WEIRD LIASIONS with strange websites before we're all HARASSED.

Who talks like this? And why do I care? I REALLY need to get a life............................

Forget about the spelling, I didn't know what half of them meant.
