  It’s definitely not definately.

  I’m absolutely sick of seeing the word definitely misspelled as definately on blogs and websites not to mention texts.

  Come on folks, at least make the effort. The correct way is ou thee of you really care.

  I got 93%, too. I was hoping for 100%, but it’s better than 2%.

  I got 93%. I really got confused with embarrasment/embarrassment.

• DPeachon September 04, 2007 9:15 pm

  87%

  Not surprised. I really struggle with my spelling. Fortunately, my wife who is an excellent speller, reads most of my blog postings within a day or two of putting them out there. She keeps me straight.

  93% and I quite happy with this results
  At least I score A for this test 🙂

  I got 93% too, not bad considering English isn’t my primary language.

  I attempted to post the html code from my test here on Daily Writing Tips. That didn’t go so well, so I’ll have to resort to telling you how I scored.

  100% baby!! Yeah!!! Hooray for me!!! Yay!!!

  That just proves that I’ve been reading Daily Writing Tip. :-0

  Daniel, the problem of some of those words is that spell checkers won’t catch the mistake.

  Like then/than or loose/lose. Both are correct words with different meaning. So make sure to proof read also after running the spell checker!

  Only 87% but I guess that it is decent as I’m not a native English speaker/writer. Luckily, I did nicely on my american college english test though. College level it was! 😀

  Anyhow, there’s always Apples automatic spellchecker. 😉

  Maeve, I had to think for a bit about embarrassment as well! That’s a tricky word.

• Maeveon July 18, 2007 11:47 am

  Daniel,
  You’ll be relieved to know that I scored the 100%, but I almost slipped up on “embarrassment.” Which would have been one!

  As a teacher, I never cared for the type of spelling test that requires students to look at misspelled words. I think such tests tend to reinforce incorrect spellings.

  I enjoyed taking this one, though.

• Celebrienneon July 18, 2007 11:18 am

  Wow! I got the whooping 100% – I’m the greatest of all 😉

• Danielon July 18, 2007 10:57 am

  Faisca, yeah in fact I just manage it 🙂 . The head “tipper” is Maeve, our English Ph.D.!

• Razeenon July 18, 2007 9:56 am

  All of you get a nice score, i just get 80% 🙂

• francesco mapellion July 18, 2007 8:02 am

  87% 🙁

  but I don’t know where I was wrong! 🙁

• Faiscaon July 18, 2007 1:00 am

  You manage a blog called Daily Writing Tips and you only scored a 93%?? What is wrong with you!?

  Totally just kidding. There were a few of those I had to look at twice, I can definitely see how you could overlook some random stuff.

  Thanks for the link!

• Danielon July 18, 2007 12:50 am

  Yeah it is for sure a linkbait, in fact the main site has nothing to do with the topic.

• Andrew Fluscheon July 17, 2007 11:21 pm

  Hey Daniel,

  That’s a spiffy piece of linkbait that mingle2 created. I love it!

  Hmm, I only scored 87%. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a writing tips blog. 🙂
