I missed 6 on the first one. (coliseum, misspell, perseverance, irascible, liaison, and septuagenarian)

Man, 6 wrong on the second one, too. (Dalmation, sacrilegious, liquefy, battalion, conscientious, and inoculate)

4 wrong on the third test. (desiccate, chocolaty, propagate, and tariff)

I missed 3 on the first test. I've never even heard Septuagenarian used before. Judgment and Perseverance were the other two.

Second test I missed six: flabbergast, plagiarize, liquefy, sacrilegious, battalion and chauvinism. At least I didn't miss Misspell.

I missed relevant, septuagenarian, coliseum, prominent, judgment, irascible, misspell, and mischievous. This is why I have spellcheck on my email and IM clients.

Average_Joe

I got 7 wrong on the first quiz and 5 wrong on the second quiz. I figure my average would be 6 for all quizzes.

I had 5 7 3 6 6 wrong...

15 wrong on the first.... Then I gave up. Gotta love spell check. The thing is I could probably spell those words if dictated, and I just wrote them. Having two spellings make you second guess.

6, 7, 7, 6, 5 - I did better if I didn't think about it too long, just picked them as I read them.

2 on the 1st - judgment, harass

5 on the 2nd - battallion, coolly, occurred, liquefy, inoculate

3 on the 3rd - chocolaty, desiccate, insistent

4 on the 4th - aficionado, embarrass, maneuver, deterrence

I got snafu right though, whatever that is!!! Lol

I'm pretty pleased as I'm not even a native english speaker

Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Much better than I thought. Makes me feel better that I haven't completely forgotten EVERYTHING I learned in school.

1 on the first - harass
1 on the second - inoculate
2 on the third - desiccate & CHOCOLATY (which I should be flogged for considering how addicted to the stuff I am)
2 on the fourth - millennium & aficionado
3 on the fifth - inadvertent, bellweather (which I don't even know the meaning of) & supersede

I only did the first and got 8 wrong, really disappointing! And there was me thinking I could spell, ah well.

I'm a bad speller, I know it, you know it. 14 missed.

Easytiger

No mistakes, but I am a) an English teacher and b) something of a freak when it comes to spelling .

magictoy

2, 0, 0, had enough.

That's a fun little test.

Snafu is an acronym of Situation Normal, All Fucked Up (probably actually all 'fouled' up), supposedly through the military, that became a word meaning a glitch in operations or procedures, ie; 'we were fixing the car, but ran into a snafu with the brakes'.

I got 3 wrong in the first one, 2 in the second, totally missed about 5 in the 3rd because I wasn't paying attention.
