How good is your spelling?
Ruth and I both tried this spelling test in the Guardian. I confess, we both got 13 out of 23. Any of our friends or readers who can beat that – without cheating?

I am ashamed to say that I only got 12 right! Although I did notice that in one of your recent entries you used the word “color” – I don’t think that The Guardian would accept that somehow!!

23/23. I didn’t even find it particularly difficult, but I found that not being a native speaker gives me quite an advantage in spelling tests.

Well, I did wonder if the non-native speakers would do better – I didn’t expect anyone would get a perfect score, however. Well done!
