[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=519155.msg9194597#msg9194597 date=1316644573]Hmmm. I am determined! lol.

About the audio.  There has to be an error-free way of presenting this test, don't you think?  I spelt the word, Narcissist, and was surprised to find I got it wrong.  Well, what the speech lady actually said was the name of the person for whom the disorder is named.  But, it wasn't properly enunciated by her, as far as I'm concerned.  tongue

I also misspelt a word for a persistent skin condition.  Doggone Noxzema Creme tripped me up on that one.  lol.

I find I have problems with Italian words.  The double letters are often not where you expect them.

P.S. I took the test a few more times, scored 9 and 10 a couple of times, and quit when i repeated 11/15 again! Phew!!! smiley[/quote]grin grin

The reason why it's "fiendish". You need to listen to how she pronounced "bourgeois". I thought she meant "usual" (I wrote "usual" with a big smile on moi face grin) . . . fa - fa . . . foulllllll. smiley.

Oh mai!

You're right about the audio/announcer.  Half the words missed is due to confusion about what you're hearing, to be honest.

I'll take it again.  If I don't do any better than 11, you won't hear from me again today. lol. tongue[/quote]The words are truly difficult.

If you score higher than 11, then, you're better than a Mensa, I tell ya.

Fourth, a word that sounded like chibacta

Oya, sebi you sabi tongue tongue

Try this Spelling Challenge.

A very nice game.

I tried the most difficult one (called "Fiendish"wink, I scored 10 out of 15. I didn't hear 2 of the words (strange difficult words) properly. Well, I didn't know their origin either. I flunked 3 (sorry 5 cheesy).

You can use either British or American pronunciation.
Enjoy it (remember, try the "Fiendish" only tongue tongue). Good luck.

Leviticus 21:16-21

King James Version (KJV)

16And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

17Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

18For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,

19Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,

20Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

21No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
