SPELLING THE WORDS RIGHT


As mentioned below all the words listed had been misspelled. I wonder if anybody bothered to check the right spelling of those words. They are sure very tricky words to spell. Let´s look at the right way to spell them: (the right one in red)

supercede -supersede - conceed - concede - procede - proceed - idiosyncracy - idiosyncrasy concensus - consensus - accomodate - accommodate - impressario - impresario - rhythym - rhythm - opthalmologist - ophthalmologist - diptheria - diphtheria - anamoly - anomaly - afficianado - aficionado - caesarian - caesarean - grafitti - graffiti

How was that? Did you get everything right?

  1. I did not get everything right, of course. From here on, I am going to keep my eyes wide open, though.

    Hi Nelson,
    Try these:

    courgette or courggete ("abobrinha verde" in British English)?

    zuckinni or zucchini (the same vegetable in American English)?

    Ha! Ha! Ha!

  5. We've tried this in class and believe me although we were doing this together we sat in silence, looking tired and dejected.

  6. @Chris:

    "courgette(the double "G" looks really weird) and zucchini(because I did not like the double "N" there either)

    Did I get them right?

  7. "courgette" seems some kind of fabric for me. I would never think of vegetable. Oh, my God!

    I did not get everything right at all :(
    Some words I did not even know the meaning LOL

    "Courgette" doesn't sound like it's a vegetable at all, does it? It sounds so French...
