The Oxford Dictionaries offers a spelling test you can take online. Words are pronounced for you, so turn your speakers on. I aced the Tricky level. On both the Difficult and the Fiendish levels, I scored 14 of 15. I actually spell pretty well, thanks to years of writing under the supervision of spellcheck and commenters. The misspellings you see in my posts are mostly due to my horrid typing skills. Let us know how you do on this quiz! Link -via TYWKIWDBI

I listened to guard twice and thought for sure they said god.
