	Good quiz, but I think it would be better if it wasn't a minefield.

	"For this round of the spelling bee, your word is 'Whether'." "Uh, could I get that in a sentence, please?" "I don't know WHETHER the WEATHER will clear up." "Uh...W...E-" "Wrong!"

	Definitely -- one of the more frequently misspelled words on the Internet I'd guess.

	Today I learned that I've been spelling Hygiene wrong my entire life... I thought it was Hygeine... but now that I see it typed out, they both look wrong...

	Whoever says or writes 'congradulate' should be shot.

	Bit disappointed that Kyrgyzstan wasn't on the list

	ETL (English as a Third Language) here, so maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't the pronounciation of "definitely" rule out any "a" anywhere in the word? Maybe the first "e" but certainly not the second "i"? Or is it pronounced daffarently elsewhere?

	@Ulkomaalainen - I'm from England and would say that the way "definitely" tends to be pronounced here the second "i" could easily be an "a". The second and third syllables may spell the word "finite" but are more usually pronounced something like "finate" or "finert".

	This quiz was much tougher than I thought it would be. And I'm a gud spellur

	I didn't notice this was a minefield quiz at first. I was well into the quiz when I got one wrong. The quiz stopped and I said to myself: "What the ... . Why would anyone make this a minefield quiz?"

	nerfherder:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 17:25 GMT		17 points
	Wow, that took more tries than it should have....

	sennomulo:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 19:10 GMT		4 points
	How is "underrate" a commonly misspelled word, and why is it so low on the stats? "Under" + "rate" = "underrate". How else would you spell it?

	if rhythm and rythm were both there, I bet a lot more people would miss that word.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Really shouldn't be a minefield.

	Lprdgecko:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 03:49 GMT		2 points
	@turqbob: But those are both words, spelled correctly... "I am able to HEAR because I have ears." and "HERE is the paper you were looking for."

	lancsroyal:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 10:09 GMT		21 points
	It drives me crazy when people spell definitely with an "a".

	Dorak:	Dec 23rd, 2012 at 15:39 GMT		3 points
	I don't understand why there are multiple versions of some words (correct and incorrect) but not of others. Seems unnecessarily cute.

	At first I was clicking on the words that were not spelled right..oops.
