19/20; I've got a degree in English and spelling words correctly makes me happy, but the word that's effed me up since childhood effed me up here once again: "embarrassed" and its variants XD It's one of the few words I cannot seem to spell correctly no matter what I do XD

In UK English we still use dipthongs (think onomatopoeia) so it's encyclopaedias not the single 'e' you printed. Paediatric, not pediatric. Get it right BP.

In case anyone got this one wrong: It is 'acknowledgement' in British English and 'acknowledgment' in American English.

yeah that is the only one that got me. I grew up with British and this was the US variant.
