75%
Your grand total is 75% 75%

Now we're talking. Nearly the 'full shilling (or is that schiling)'. But well done. These are not the easiest words to spell

58% well i dont know some of the words on there XP

well i sucked.....

single

i do not trust the resuelts for i am a British gitish girl and i say Americans are foolish!

Are you bored? Then come and take my boredom-busting quiz,

"How much do you know about me?"! You can find out how good your guessing skills are,and when you're done reading your results,you can click on the "See Answers" button to see how much we have in common! ~ PeaceIsLove

It did have the correct spelling for 'haemorrhage'. If you read the directions before taking the quiz, it specifically states that the British spellings are considered the 'correct' answers.

Did anyone notice? This quiz did not have the correct spelling of hemorrhage to choose from in the multiple choice so I just chose the closest-to-correct spelling which was spelled haemorrhage. My score was 92.

58% damn I suck at spelling XD You should make a part two with the word "characteristics."

Your grand total is 58% 58%

Slightly better than half but still a little way from a 'great' score. Keep at it and you will be at the next level before you know it!

Wow, I really didn't do that good.

Mistake in the intro is the use of 'fair' instead of 'fare' :-) @Dozy Deb @intonsus

OK I got 100% because I am educated and English but today I made several spelling mistakes. 1. Practice (noun) when it should have been Practise (verb), onto instead of unto, defense instead of defence. By the way could you spread it around that 'you are' is shortened to you're not your which means something completely different. Hemorrhage is the American way but looks totally wrong to an English person. So much so it gives me diarrhoea or oesophageal convulsions.

&%% or 75%

Some of these are wrong. I got everything but it only said 75%. Everything except the last one--it's hemorrhage. Wrong answers but great quiz.

Fun quiz. I got 100% DESPITE being Canadian!

I enjoyed the quiz :)

I got 92 % !! Stupid Americans comments - just ignore them.

Sparkles 264 - The Oxford Dictionary is the 'English' standard from which we are taught English in the UK :)

Oohh, sparkle 264, where did I put that? The verb "spell" is one of a number of verbs where older irregular forms exist for the past tense (that is "-t" rather than "ed").

Generally, these forms are dropping out of English, but the process has gone further in US English than in UK English. So in the USA, "spelt" is rare enough that most people view it as wrong, but in the UK the two forms coexist. And the spelling mistake in the intro is ? intonsus

Also I got a 95%. Your quiz isn't that hard. The only one I had trouble on was hemorage or whatever that was. I'm only in the fifth grade. Also, what the heck is an Oxford Dictionary.

Dozy Deb isn't the spelled your thinking of S-p-e-l-l-e-d. You spelled it spelt.

Spelling mistake in the intro! Not impressed. And you americans, learn your greek roots.

Ha ha - I knew the differences between English English and american English would cause a problem. I assure that haemorrhage and misspelled, in the Oxford English dictionary are both correct... Ce la vie. In an American English spelling test I am sure I would be absolutely rubbish mprovancial

You have another word misspelled. Or maybe it is spelled correctly according to your rules. In which case, I am misspelling it! lol According to the way I learned it in my American English spelling classes, however, I am spelling it correctly. :) I don't cheat so I didn't look in your Oxford dictionary or any other dictionary. It was fun though. Well, actually, it wasn't but I recognize that it is YOUR test. Good luck with other quizzes. :)
