	The Philippines are not in Oceania.

	@RandallPinkston, Sorry about that. Fixed.

	I honestly thought you were going for Anna Chakvetadze. At least she won a handful of singles titles, unlike the "darling" included here. :)

	Yamoussoukro is another good one.

	"Memorial garden" is a very odd clue to me, mainly because I've only ever heard the phrase in reference to a garden built in a person's memory, not the actual place they're buried.

	@BombaySapphire: I initially scoffed at the word "champ" used to describe Anna, but she did win 16 doubles championships, including 2 majors. She definitely wasn't well known for her tennis, but it's not like she had zero success. Also, the memorial garden clue threw me too.

	I think the "memorial garden" description is a little confusing. "Graveyard" would be better, since a memorial garden doesn't usually have graves.

	You might want to accept "mediaeval".

	Thank you for the Editor's Pick!

	I decided to replace Anna with another athlete. Thank you for the comments, and I hope everyone is enjoying the spelling 'test'.

	Not sure if it's worth it, but something could be done to clarify that it's not Martina Hingis.

	Sporcle's taught you to spell all these difficult words...and then you write 'danser'. Perhaps 'sporclitis' should be added to this list.

	Also I've never seen 'Mediterranean Avenue' on a British monopoly board (which I thought was the original but I'm prepared to be corrected). The first space on our board after GO is Old Kent Road but it's not overly difficult to spell!

	Not happy at my inability to read questions: "But the capital of New Mexico is Mexico City, or Mexico D.F. How hard can that be to spell?" facepalm

	Sporcle is the reason why I know how to spell Bosnia and Herzegovina.

	CallieJae:	Jul 10th, 2012 at 04:53 GMT		1 point

	Sporcle has failed to teach me how to spell milenium, er millenium, or whatever. Good quiz.

	milgita:	Jul 10th, 2012 at 22:23 GMT		1 point
	After typing it so many times on Sporcle quizzes, Sporcle SHOULD have taught me how to spell Leichtenstein....or Liechtenstein....but I still have to type it several different ways before I come across the right spelling :p

	Olajuwon, Mutombo, Szczerbiak, Yastrzemski. I guess I play mostly sports lists.

	emsee:	Jul 12th, 2012 at 00:17 GMT		4 points
	Thank goodness for the nearly universal acceptance of Yaz for Yastrzemski

	@rosk20: no, the US version of Monopoly (based on Atlantic City, New Jersey) was the original. Apparently, it was based on an earlier game called "The Landlord's Game", which originally wasn't set anywhere in particular, but later versions had street names from Chicago. Though I agree this doesn't really seem the best clue for "Mediterranean", as most people outside the US probably aren't familiar with the American version. Oh, and I also tried "Hingis".

	Mediaeval is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to spell in the entire history of my existance... that I actually got right. Then I saw Ouagadougou! :o

	I tried and tried to spell Khrushchev's name right for several minutes. I wasn't even close.

	Realizing how the Monopoly was somewhat confusing, I have changed the clue for the Sea. Thanks for your comments.

	I wonder what kinds are English names are had to spell for Russians and Polish people sometimes.
