	Let me know if I've (embarrassingly) misspelled any of the words, or if anything ought to be added. I know it's a difficult quiz to guess, but these are the most common misspellings according to Wikipedia.

	Interesting idea for a quiz! It was amusing how hard it was to type some of these the wrong way on purpose. :) One thing, though--I would decrease the time by a lot; it's too easy to guess lots of possible misspellings and still have plenty of time left over. (And actually, what might make it more interesting is to show the wrong spelling and make people get the spelling right.)

	I loved/hated this quiz. Fun and difficult for some of the ones given. But it included some of my pet peeve misspellings that drive me insane (rediculous being one), so I hated having to type them. thanks for accepting definately (theres another). And for the life of me, I couldnt think of any reasonable way to misspell across. never even crossed my mind. Wierd (get it?) how that happens. Good job.

	I can't even comprehend how someone could possibly misspell some of these words...

	That was super fun and I've certainly seen most of those misspellings over and over again. A common one that wasn't included: congradulate.

	Thanks for all the kind comments; I'd actually originally only had 6 minutes, but somehow it got changed to ten...? I'll fix that right away.

	Seeing as spelling errors burn by eyeballs, I tend not to make them, hence this quiz was impossible for me!
