	Note: The quizmaker Sporcla has a quiz titled "Geography Spelling Bee Blitz" which has three answers in common with this one. However, the format I've used is significantly different (his format rejecting some alternative spellings, mine rejecting ALL alternative spellings) and the overlap in answers being due to there being some rather obvious choices for a Geography Spelling quiz (Kyrgyzstan, Liechtenstein, and Reykjavik, to name the three that he and I both found worth including). Out of fairness to him though, if you'd like to try his quiz, here is the link: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sporcla/you_already_know_what_the_last_one_will_be.

	The correct spelling for the capital of Burkina Faso is not accepted.

	OdysseusKelly:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 12:31 GMT		1 point
	Just fixed. Really sorry about that. That's rather embarrassing, isn't it? Oh well... I guess I deserve all the one-globe reviews I got over it too. Once again, really sorry, everybody.

	When you are producing a spelling quiz, it is absolutely critical that you proofread and get the spelling right before you contribute. The format is not a very good one for spelling quizzes because for fast typists a single error ends the quiz.

	Thanks for fixing it promptly. Changed my rating ;) I think you could do with really emphasising the "type carefully" bit and the fact that a single slip of the finger WILL lose you the answer, though!

	Thanks for the idea, Catherine! That's exactly what I just did. @gowhere A single error doesn't end the quiz. It just makes you not get that word. You convinced me to ditch the "wrong answers end the quiz" part in your comment on my previous quiz.

	you should include slovenia's capital instead of madagascar's. it is WAY tougher to spell. also the green answers are tough to read. you should change the color.

	It's not often Kyrgyzstan is the most guessed answer!

	gowhere:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 14:58 GMT		1 point
	@OdysseusKelly: My apologies for not being clear enough. What I meant was that if I am typing Kyrgyzstan, for example, and use one of the older alternate spellings like Kirgizstan, the 'i' will trigger that as a wrong answer, the 'r' will immediately trigger the wrong answer for Capital of Burkina (even if I know how to spell it correctly), the g will trigger the wrong answer for Madagascar, etc. People who type words rather than letter by letter will not even notice that they have got a word wrong before they have spelled every clue in the quiz incorrectly. I appreciate both the fact that you corrected the spelling error so promptly and the warning that you provided. It does help. I still am not in favor of the format because it doesn't correspond with the way I type and think, but with the improved instructions, I do understand what to expect from the quiz and am changing my rating accordingly.
