11/12 I read 'mililitres' as 'millilitres' so chose it as that's how we spell it in Australia. I got some of the others right only because the options of what would have been almost correct in Australia were themselves misspelled eg immunise, chequered. Perhaps future spelling quizzes could be categorised as "American."

And chequered is correct outside the USA.

Iancompat, Surely they can, and did. It was the only correct answer listed. If you look more carefully, you'll see that the first option misspelled the "mili-" part of the word, which should be "milli-" The only correct option of the 2 given was the U.S. spelling, which does not make it wrong, just different.

Denise Bruce, But the one ending in "-tres" was spelled wrong, with only one "l" in "mili". That's wrong everywhere. The only correct option of the 2 choices was the U.S. spelling, which does not make it wrong, just different.

Patricia Cairns, It didn't have that as an option. Look carefully. There is only 1 "l" in "mili". That is wrong anywhere. Of the 2 option, the only correct option was milliliters, the U.S. spelling, which does not make it wrong, just different.

Gail Cusack, Of the two choices, only milliliters was correct. I use the "-re" ending here in Canada as well, but that was not an option. U.S. spelling is not incorrect, it is just different.

Keith Williams, No, it's not. The U.S. has never declared an official language. I also spell it with the "-re" ending, but that was not an option. The other option was "mililitres", without the double "ll". That is not correct anywhere. So of the two choices listed, milliliters was the only correct choice. The differences in spelling in various places are not correct or incorrect, just different.
