battalion
liaison

Some of the easiest ones! *headdesk*

I missed fourteen. The thing that starts getting tough is when you look over the words. It makes you doubt your initial answer.

Gah!
I got fourteen wrong.
I thought I'd do so much better since I've always been so excellent at spelling.
Looking at both choices made me doubt most of my initial decisions; if I had verbally been told the word and had spelled it out, I probably would have gotten more right. Lol.

13 wrong, but that's okay. I did just wake up.

Wow, I only missed 8. That's pretty good for me, but it wasn't an easy test. Honestly, I hadn't heard of several of those words, so I had to guess on a few. Does anyone here know what "dessicate" means? And, yes, I'm too lazy to look in a dictionary. So, shoot me.

I feel pretty damn dumb, especially as I am jokingly referred to bye my real-life friends as the "walking talking dictionary".

And am I the only one who noticed that both spellings of ecstacy were the SAME?

I had to take it twice, since I accidentally closed it the first time, yet I missed the same number of things both times. Typical.

Desiccate means to dry up, like, a two thousand year old mummy would be a dessicated corpse.
