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.
12526. Ms. No - 12/6/2004 10:31:16 PM All I can think is that I'm glad privelege wasn't on the list. I never spell it right. 12527. judithathome - 12/6/2004 10:38:28 PM MsNo have you ever heard of Ken's Japanese Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga? 12528. iiibbb - 12/6/2004 11:00:00 PM "Freebird" is IMHO the greatest rock song ever.
Props also goes to "I can't get no satisfaction", "Stairway to Heaven", "Purple Haze", "Louie Louie", "Great Balls of Fire", "Every Breath You Take", "Johnny B Goode"...
Well... I could make a list but Freebird isn't even on their top 100, and that's just wrong.
