I haven't even heard of half of those words. sweatdrop

I missed two words, inoculate and....well, I can't remember the other word. sweatdrop

Spelling has always been very easy for me, but I'm surprised at this result, considering how many of these words use subtle spelling tricks that confuse most--even me!

Honestly, on about seven other words I spent a LONG time before I finally guessed, so I could have had nine or more wrong....it was the luck of the draw.

Oh, wow. I missed...
Twenty-two!!
God damn!
Possibly, it has something to do with the fact that I'm only thirteen.

A Subpoena is something that has alot to do with Civics.
(The States' Civics, anyhow.)
A Magistrate must "Issue Warrants And Subpoenas".
I learned that last year, but didn't pay much attention.

I took this test three times. First I missed twenty, then nine, and now I missed five. Here are the ones I missed:

desiccate
yield
inoculate
independent
anoint

That isn't bad for a fourteen-year-old, is it? It makes me feel incredibly dumb, since I'm one of the best spellers in my eighth-grade class, but I like it. This test is a wonderful thing, and it helps me improve my spelling. That makes it all better, right?

Oh, and I know how to spell yield; that was a slip of the mouse. Come to think of it, I know how to spell inoculate, independent, and anoint, too. Man! I was not thinking! xp

I got 18 wrong.
PostPosted: Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:40 pm


Ah... 13 wrong. Not too bad, considering the difficulty of the quiz. I guess I could have done better, but MS Word has made me lazy when it comes to spelling things right on my own. xp

Thirteen wrong. Ouch.

Good lord, in the entirety of my last year at school (this year, UK style, so I'm approaching seventeen) I made about three spelling mistakes. And one of them was 'sussuration' so there you go.

"Supersede" was a problem. I can't remember any of the others though.

I got eleven words wrong on the first try, but the weird thing is that the words that I got wrong were the ones that I knew. I've never even heard of the word subpoena, but I still got it right. O_o;;
