    Default Spelling Test

    Well, we appear to have a few Grammar Gods amongst us (even I am supposed to be one ) , but we also seem to have at least five Grammer Gods , so perhaps we also need a spelling test.

    I got five wrong, giving a score of 45/50. I thought I had done better -- I thought I had at most two wrong. In fact, the five corrected spellings are still on my screen, and they still look wrong! But they're right -- I have just checked them against my dictionary (Collins).

    Ach weel, 90% ain't bad, I guess.

    41/50 Sometimes I had to read them 3 times to tell the difference
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I was convinced I had them all right - Yikes - Score was 42/50 - 8 wrong for me.

    No more tests today, please - I can't resist them - and I really have to finish my Tax Return, which is proving a test in itself.

    Only three wrong !!

    Privilege (which I swithered about as I always spell it wrongly )
    judgement (careless - getting smart maybe? )
    and all right (which I thought was alright )

    Again - credit to John Ross and WHS - even after almost 50 years!! (Pity I diidn't spell my username correctly when I signed up!!)
