C'mon. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?? Where does that appear in the O.E.D.? You might as well as used "bumdiddlediddledlddledumdiddleai" or "Expelliarmus".

Got one wrong because I did it too quickly. 4 is spelt differently in British and American English, and oddly both versions are given, so I don't know if the American spelling gets marked as correct or not. Patients is the correct spelling of a different word! Never heard of 14 - had to look that one up.

Apparently, I'm an American who has always spelled #4 the British way.

Without context, several alternative spellings are valid words: secrete - to hide; crotchet - musical note; busyness - the state of being busy; patients - ill people.
Hodge Elmwood 6 months ago
Yes, but you can usually figure out which one they want. Crochet is obviously the correct answer, so crotchet can't be. Business was spelled incorrectly several times so "busyness" wasn't what they were looking for. Sometimes it's a process of elimination because most of the misspellings are very obvious.

Bit of an antagonistic title, for sure. Couple of them had valid alternatives, given the meaning was not specified, so you have to guess which is the required word for crotchet and patients. The only related one of these that I sometimes struggle with is 'unnecessary', which I got first time here, but normally would stand about a 50% chance of getting all the right double letters straight off.

Massachusetts resident here. My friends and I often talk about our struggles to properly spell "beautiful". We are at a loss. We don't know what to do or who failed us. Did we not pay enough attention to teaching this word when we were growing up? The struggle is real... s/

I always remember by the fact Beau is at the start, somehow I am able to remember how to spell that.

If you're going to bash Americans, there may be a few things more important than spelling at the moment.
Vanessa Panerosa 6 months ago (edited)
And perhaps a correlation between the two. Also if you’re going to try to get us canceled, then understand we can also be cancelled.

I always have to stop and think about how to spell "friend", it's my nemesis word, and you'd think by now I would have learned how. Nope! Fiend with an R.
Ace 6 months ago (edited)
I still fall back on the "I before E except after C" rule even though I know that in fact it's not generally true. Somehow all the other exceptions are obvious. Weird.

30 - broccoli let me down (and it's my favourite veg!), I have no idea what luau means, and stuff that made up word from Mary Poppins.
Epona 6 months ago
Luau: A luau is a traditional Hawaiian party or feast, often accompanied by entertainment and featuring native Hawaiian cuisine. It's a celebration of Hawaiian culture and a way to mark special occasions like birthdays, graduations, or welcoming guests. Luaus typically include a feast with dishes like poi, kālua pig, poke, and lomi salmon, alongside live music and hula performances.

Four states struggling with spelling people? I wonder if it's something to do with how it's pronounced in those states? It's hard to believe that people need to Google number 29. I've never needed to write that down in my entire life!
RamiRudolph 6 months ago
Being smarter than an American is not a great accomplishment. And I say this as someone whose first language is not English.
Nota Robot 6 months ago
Most I can recognise when spelled correctly, but with some I still hesitate when writing. Never heard of the Hawaiian one though.
XenoMurph 6 months ago
I doubt Hawaiians have to google it. I bet it's tourists while in Hawaii who need to search it.

I really want to kick myself for not reading more carefully 32/33 l don't even know what Luau means but it looked better than the others
Apatheist Account2 6 months ago (edited)
Of course, no-one's going to object to phrasing the question that way, are they? Hard to believe Hawaii struggles with Luau more than other states. Also, googling temperature could just be that they want to know how hot it is, not how to spell. Anyway, as expected, I could have got almost all of these when I was about 8.
Ariom Dahl 6 months ago
I'm an Aussie. Some of these words could have alternative but also correct spellings, depending on context. Overall, it was a bit silly, but fun.
Tom Brincefield 6 months ago
A luau is a form of Hawaiian feast, with a variety of foods, mostly native vegetables and everything prepared using native recipes. If you ever get the chance, it's a great experience.

So basically what this says is the USA are all thick as shite 😂I fell foul of luau not a word I use at all and quesadillas lmao being British rest were easy , Americans need to learn to speak English properly if they insist on using it 😂
Vanessa Panerosa 6 months ago
Here’s what I think: the fact that you don’t know that it’s BOTH “cancelled” and “canceled” means this quiz isn’t smarter than an American, so SHOVE IT.
