You guys, online spelling and punctuation can be atrocious, right? lol. I'll often check a dictionary site if I don't know how to spell a word, or the meaning of a word. This test covers commonly misspelled or misused words and a little bit of punctuation. I think it's a pretty simple test. (It doesn't really get into British vs American vs Canadian English, but...) See whatcha think.

You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
 
Good Link on the commonly misspelled words one. The word I have to look up every time I use it is recommend. Even when I just typed it. My typing fingers gave it two C's. I've spelled threshold, and harass incorrectly recently. I didn't know questionnaire had two n's. The one I see spelled incorrectly all the time is "definitely".

One time someone posted to me something like, "I 'definately' know what I'm talking about. I never make mistakes."
 
lol, I contribute a large amount to spelling mistakes, both on the web and off, But I get to blame my dyslexicness 🙂

This score does not reflect an inability to converse intelligibly, but it does, however, reflect your inability to determine the proper spelling and/or uses of many commonly confused words of the English language. There is no reason to feel bad though. They are commonly confused, so you're not the only one!

You have a good understanding of intermediate and advanced commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of the intermediate and advanced level questions correct. The puzzling part of your test result is the fact that you only answered 75% or less correct in the beginner section. Fascinating.

Ok does that make me wierd? maybe the bigger words just bored me lol?

Yeah, I have words like that too. You've seen them a billion times, and it just doesn't sink in! Weird. (Hmm...yeah, like "weird" for instance, lol. "ie" or "ei"...)

Also, "it's" vs. "its". "its" being the possessive...
