12506. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:05:11 PM Uh, that was a two part post. The ALLCAPS were for iiibbb and Ulgine. 12507. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2004 7:06:01 PM 23. But one of the errors was a word I have never seen before and which is not listed in Merriam-Webster. 12508. Macnas - 12/6/2004 7:29:38 PM 22 for me. 12509. Magoseph - 12/6/2004 7:34:26 PM You scored 24 out of a possible 25
Genius. We hope you don't get indigestion from all the dictionaries you've eaten.
I don't know which one I mispelled--don't have time to find out. The plumber is here since eight this morning--huge leaks from the main bathroom...the other two are: one in the basement, the other in the the guest house. It will be going up and down or trudge in the snow back and forth for a while. This house has got to go--tired of it.
Hi, everybody! Mac, lovely rendition of your Christmas shopping. Arky, I'm thinking of you. 12510. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:40:17 PM Pelle,
Yes, I found a couple of words there that were unfamiliar to me --- one of which I'd never seen before. They seemed to follow vague and amorphous "rules" that were laid down in my synapses somewhere so I just forged ahead and got lucky I guess.
I can't now remember what any of the odd words were, however. 12511. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2004 7:41:52 PM What's wrong with reading the dictionary? 12512. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 7:50:41 PM Nothing, actually, but it was a taunt that stung back in gradeschool. 12513. Magoseph - 12/6/2004 7:59:17 PM Ouch, I can't even spell "misspelled' correctly!
The plumber finally left. We will have a new toilet, new pipes, and a new floor tomorrow. There's no end fixing things that go wrong in a house built in 1927. I'm going to bed now because I stayed up most of the night emptying buckets of water. 12514. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:07:08 PM I spotted my error:
Resusitate
Resuscitate
Rescusitate
I was bitterly dissappoiointed because I found the test dead easy, and expected a perfect score.
Not sure why I got that one wrong. The right answer still looks wrong to me.
Love the winner's name : Gayathri Panikker. Surely some mistake? 12515. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:08:24 PM Hell, did the plumbing ruin the floor?
I guess it was the sort of floor that, as soon as you rip up a bit of it to replace some plumbing, isn't worth repairing...
what are you replacing it with? 12516. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 9:10:28 PM Nyetskaya, I'm glad you're not calling me a simple man just because you beat me at the spelling test... though I aspire to simplicity...
but I don't have a clue what you people are talking about. Song titles I suppose. 12517. thoughtful - 12/6/2004 9:19:34 PM 23
i screwed up the one i never heard of...the phobia.
but a lot of those words are fairly uncommon....can't remember the last time i said elevenses.
i go crazy over the spelling tests of the frequently misspelled words like occurrence, benefiting, argument, refrigerator and judgment. 12518. PelleNilsson - 12/6/2004 9:25:13 PM The word I had never seen was the one meaning fear of darkness. 12519. judithathome - 12/6/2004 9:35:43 PM I got a 23...missed #s 5 and 6. 12520. judithathome - 12/6/2004 9:42:53 PM We had a great time at the play yesterday, despite the fact a lady in a huge new Escalade hit my car in the parking lot right before the play started. It broke a little panel on my bumper but creamed her car (huge scrape all along the side and a dented in passenger door) and loosened her bumper, too. 12521. wabbit - 12/6/2004 9:43:32 PM 25!
And now I think I'll go make a grilled cheese sandwich and see what appears. 12522. iiibbb - 12/6/2004 10:16:30 PM Arky Message # 12496 re Message # 12477 12523. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 10:26:55 PM Oh, nychtophobia. That one I knew. I was thinking of the disequilibrium one or something and there was another in the last 5-8 I think that I'd never encountered before but I managed to spell correctly. 12524. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 10:28:45 PM Wabbit,
Obviously we were born to rule. Is that a link to the NPR segment on the grilled cheese sandwich cookbook they were talking about yesterday? 12525. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 10:30:31 PM AC,
Yes, song titles from Southern Rock Bands. Free Bird is Lynard Skynard and Whipping Post was the Allman Brothers. Simple Man is Skynard.
Of course I have no idea if I was playing correctly, I just chimed in because I knew the tunes.
