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.

This was posted on 2Day FM’s Facebook page. What’s the answer? (no cheating )

5

5

Wrong.

What is the answer then?????

7

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

Ahh yes. You are right.

My Math Teacher always said that this kinda thing will come in real handy in real life situations!!!!!

Like on a forum!!!!!

He was right!!!!! With my Disrespectful Grammar, Attrosyus Spelling, and my lack of Mathematical Know How, my life has equated to nothing!!!!!

Don’t be so hard on yourself, mate. I’m sure you’re good at something? Haha

EDIT: I hear you’re good at serenading?
