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.

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.

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.

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.
Load More Replies...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.
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.
