	Thank you again to the Sporcle Admins for giving me my second published quiz in the 2 1/2 years I've been on this site...and second in two days!

	LAMMA

	@Stanford0008: Hallelujah! (incidentally the last word I chose)

	No one in my office can spell worth a damn, so I proofread every missive before they're released. I should point them to this quiz before I demand a raise.

	Hooray! A quiz that rewards my OCD!

	Congratulations, Stanford0008. You have taken to the new format brilliantly and I doubt you'll have to wait another 2 1/2 years to see a lot more publishes in the future.

	Apparently I can spell really well, but I can't read... I thought I had to click on the incorrectly-spelled words! 0/15! Oops...

	14/15, and I'm now a better speller than I was five minutes ago. Thanks!

	Including 'Hallelujah' is slightly dodgy, since the language from which it originates uses a different alphabet and thus there's more than one possible transliteration (see the quiz on the number of different ways to spell 'Gaddafi') - I've seen 'Halleluia', 'Alleluia' and one or two others used. Other than that, great quiz.

While not suggesting that the quiz be changed, I was a bit flummoxed by Lamma, because I knew that, while it wasn't the correct spelling for either a Tibetan priest or a South American beast,it was the correct spelling for something. I googled it to find that it is the correct spelling for one of Lamma Island in Hong Kong.

	@gowhere: Thanks for the definition of "lamma". I was looking at that word wondering what the heck it was. I was pronouncing it like a rhyme of "gamma" and didn't even think for a second that I had the vowel sound wrong. I feel so stupid (except that I knew it was one of the misspelled words.)

	Great quiz! I just read through each word and didn't click the ones that caused a fit of spelling-rage :D

	I couldn't figure out what a lamma was either. It didn't matter because I found the correctly spelled words. Does someone know what it is supposed to be?

	It was either lemma or llama, or perhaps just an attempt to trap people going too fast.

	Notice you didn't include Kyrgyzstan (cos we can all spell it now!)

	I had to restart cause I read it wrong and was picking out the misspelled words

	BenOz:	Apr 2nd, 2012 at 18:23 GMT		2 points
	In general, I don't like the new quiz format. Part of the enjoyment is typing in the answers. I just hope the majority of future quizzes aren't like this format.

	Did this quiz make anyone else feel stupid or was that just me?

	Magnavox:	Apr 2nd, 2012 at 19:06 GMT		13 points
	@ChileNoseJam: The quiz asks which words are spelled correctly, and "hallelujah" is definitely spelled correctly. The fact that there are other correct spellings doesn't make this spelling incorrect.

	I consider myself a bad speller but I got them all right. Delighted with myself.

	I fail to see the problems with the so-called 'mispeled' words.

	@SeaCalMaster I just thought I'd inform you and that you'd be happy to know that you aren't OCD. You're actually just a fully competent user of the English language.

	What was amist supposed to be? I probably should know what it is and will feel stupid afterwards, but: "I missed?" "Amish?" :?
