You're A Genius If You Ace This Tricky Spelling Test

helen talbot, The American spellings are NOT "adaptations of British spellings. For centuries, there was no standardized Englisg spelling. The two versions developed almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic. British spellings retain many French influences, such as in the word "omelette". American spellings were developed to be more intuitive and reflect how the word was spoken without the extraneous French flourishes. Americans spell the worst as, "omelet". It's pronounced the same with a more concise spelling.

Susan Madanat, It shouldn't matter. The incorrect options were wrong either way.

Please can they specify if US or UK English is being used.

18/20 thank you for the answers 🙏

anneli, You're correct about the English version, but that was not what was presented. The choices were: Unlabeled Unlabled Unlabelled was not an option.

FINALLY a quiz with answers!

I am not as illiterate as I thought I was !!

18/20 Spelling Genius but I got 2 wrong...I don't think I qualify as a spelling genius at that rate. Nice quiz with answers though, thank you

William Laughlin, Probably the word unlabeled, English version is unlabelled

Glynis Rix, Aficionado is the correct spelling.

helen talbot, Which word was the English spelling you refer to?

18/20. Should have been 19. Pressed the wrong answer by mistake

As the American spelling was an adaptation of English, surely the English spelling is correct?

cdowdy aks, Me too.
