Reduce the font size on your phone or whatever device you use to view these quizzes. It is your own settings that are troubling you.

Sybilla,
I don't understand your point about the differences between British and American English or why you brought it up since Oscar Wilde was Irish.
BTW, Gray is a last name and does not refer to the color/colour grey (British spelling).
