Question #11 is problematic in that it offers two correct spellings; both the British and the American variants, yet only the American spelling is accepted as correct. SMH

11/20 I have been and always will be the worst speller! UGH!

Contentious because neighbours is spelled differently here in Australia and both correct versions are given in the question. Marked as wrong if I spell it the way we do here!! Not everyone is American!

Missed 2, but 1 doesn't count because because both neighbours and neighbors are correct.

Helga U. Williams, But in some non-American spellings, acknowledgement os correct. It is not a quiz specifically about American spelling. Similarly, both neighbour and neighbor are correct answers.

Spelling genius. I tried again and I finished. Still not happy with question 11, neighbours in English.

I don’t keep on going because American spelling is different from English spelling.You spell neighbors, and we are spelling neighbours. Waste of time!

Gail Faye Bohun-Mansfield, Same here--I've gotten marked down, many times, for that, so I chose the opposite...that needs to be reported...

Helga U. Williams, I live in the states, and I always add the "e" and am told that I misspelled the word, LOL!

...LOL, still got tripped up by "foreword" and "foreward," even after all of these years...
