Peeple mite gufaw wen I say, “I’ma good speller,” because they judge you based on these blog pots, not realising that spelling erors are the result of haist not stoopidity. It’s a matter of percentiges. If you write 10 thousend wrods a day your probablee gonna make a few misteaks.
Theirs’ a diffrence bewteen not knowing and not catching yor erors because you haven’t got the time to reread your wrting.
That’s why I’m pissed about my score on this spelling test. No excuse for not getting a perfect score. But I knew I was going to pst my score, so afetr awhile you strat second guessing yourself. Wierd,
How will did you do? Leave your score in the coments.

Lol. I have some spell nazi friends that need to see this.
Btw, I see 2 errors in that paragraph.

Really bad at spelling. But… Really good at math.
Applied Mathematics and Engineering. MIT
Almost did not graduate high school because of low grades in English.
Speling is olt skool. We is nue skool.
Sorry, I can’t find the “coments” section.
40 correct 2 missed
My memory’s going! I don’t remember what I had right but I do remember 77% right. Lol! I thought I could spell better than that! But I still say some of those correctly spelled words looked wrong! (To me)
36-6-2. I think “humourous” is an acceptable spelling* and I’ve always tripped up over “for-” vs. “fore-.”
*I’m checking with my Scottish buddies.
I think I got 100% correct…basing it on common core.

I got 100%, but I have always been an excellent speller. I’m also one of those spelling nazis of which MJA speaks, but I try not to be an a-hole about it. She may disagree. LOL.
Yessireebob, got a purfect score. I’m a jeanius.
BTW, what you wrote up there nearly sent me into seizures.
Corect speling is ovor rateded
I found the test very user-unfriendly. I found it hard to click on a misspelled word; my clicks would either not register or register briefly and then disappear. I completed two sentences and went 4-for-4.
BTW, did anyone other than me notice that just a day or two ago, Cardigan misspelled “claque” as “clack?”
49-2-5 for 96% accuracy. Not too bad for sunburned, hung-over and dehydrated.
How can you be hungover and dehydrated? I assume your hangover is a result of over indulging in liquid refreshment.
39.9.2
You spelled comments wrong.
100%.
I was a proofreader in my BC (before children) days.
I’ll be the first to admit that my fingers get going faster than my brain sometimes when I’m typing and “submit” is hit before I check my spelling. 🙁

jeeze i’m ass stoopider thaen aall off youse!
41-1-1.
I should have never clicked over. I knew better, but I did it anyway.
It’s a good thing I have dyslexia as an excuse.
I gave up on traditional spelling a long time ago, and I also gave up learning new words the old fashioned ways (define, write word ten times, write a sentence using the word, etc.)
No sooner I learn words I forget them. Until…
My new method: Syllabification and synonym
i.e.
angry an gry irate
disperse dis perse scatter
That’s it. I go over the definition(s) (could be more than one definition) but rely mostly on the synonym to bring back to memory, and spelling by breaking up the word into syllables. This may not always work, but it’s better than doing nothing I suppose.
Try it.
@Claudia –
“…jeeze i’m ass stoopider thaen aall off youse…”
Naaaahh, yor just honester. 🙂
i did lousy, but i’m lysdexic, so there.

Why didn’t they test “lose” vs. “loose”? That seems to be a pandemic these days.
40 – 2 – 0
Missed it by t h i s much. 🙂
37 5 7
But I contend whacky is an acceptable spelling variant of wacky. 🙂
Sapper Chris must have gotten bonus questions.
49 out of 42 correct?
You misspelled 39. 😀
