	"Acknowledgment" is also a correct spelling (more common in the US than the UK).

	Its pretty easy; only got miniscule wrong

	@Rockgolf: Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but a very similar game appeared just a few weeks ago http://www.sporcle.com/games/butterfly75/spelling-quiz The colors were a nice touch though

	"Miniscule" is listed as an accepted spelling variation of minuscule in both dictionary.com and merriam-webster.com. For whatever it's worth.

	@Flick: Hmmm... butterflies vs. bees. I think they're different enough to both survive.

	Grammar police, arrest this man, he talks in double-negatives.

	Curse you and your quiz for making me realize the internet and autocorrect has destroyed my ability to spell.

	Miniscule is listed by multiple dictionaries as a spelling variant - Merriam-Webster's, etc. It states it's "accepted but widely considered an error"... might be a contentious/confusing choice for one of these words. Otherwise, as always, great quiz.

	The OED lists Miniscule and Minuscule, Deductable and Deductible. In both cases, though, it prefers the latter alternative.

	RJMurphy:	Jun 6th, 2011 at 10:15 GMT	3 points
	Dependent means you depend on something/someone. A Dependant is a person who depends on something/someone. Both of them are words, and so the spelling of 'dependant' is correct. And the best format for this quiz would be for the answer to come out wrong if it typed incorrectly, not the whole quiz to stop.

	Most of these are already spelled correctly. You might want to change the game to the wrong spelling of words.

	"Gage" is a word which means to monitor. 23/24 for that.
