For some lighthearted on topic entertainment I present to you the twitter spelling test

http://theoatmeal.com/quiz/twitter_spell

I got 90% but it didn’t tell me where I went wrong. So I didn’t learn how to fix up my mistake! Bastards.

I also guessed one that I narrowed down to two choices.

Yeah it flashed up for a second at the end - the answers.

I did worst than that! Eek

But I get confused when I see 4 of the same words spelt different ways! Always have. I think it is my dyslexia.

Ask me how to spell a word and I can usually get it right! And I can pick up mistakes when proof reading but my brain gets confused when they are next to each other

I am exactly the same. I had to write a couple of the words on the paper in front of me because all the letters blend in and I get mixed up if they are all listed in row.

I got 95%. Somehow I think there was an American version of a word? Can’t remember which one though.

Answer is 5 mizu. There is no brackets in there so it goes like this:

6-1x0+2/2

So you always start in this order
x / + -

So 1x0 = 0
2/2 = 1

Then you have 6-1

6-1=5

There is no brackets so this is correct.

The answer is 7.

BODMAS.

Doesn’t matter if the brackets aren’t there.

Brackets must go as such: 6 - (1x0) + (2/2) = 7

The bold line is where you went wrong.

It’s 6 -0 +1 = 7

Not 6-+1
