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?

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?

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.

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.

The word I had never seen was the one meaning fear of darkness.

I got a 23...missed #s 5 and 6.

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.

25!

And now I think I'll go make a grilled cheese sandwich and see what appears.

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.

12529. iiibbb - 12/6/2004 11:01:04 PM

Here's their list.

12530. alistairConnor - 12/6/2004 11:24:28 PM

Thought it was the allman bros -- but are you sure about freebird? thought it was older than that

12531. wonkers2 - 12/7/2004 12:01:22 AM

24. I still don't get the one involving 11s or 11s's or 11ses.

12532. wabbit - 12/7/2004 12:15:23 AM

iiibbb's link: Rolling Stone's list.

12533. judithathome - 12/7/2004 12:31:50 AM

The elevenses is early...or late?... tea or something, in England.
