One or two dumb mistakes on my part.

I'm a very visual person, so I can usually see if a word is spelled correctly or not.

I missed "accommodate" and "embarrass." For some reason I wanted there to be only one "m" and one "r" respectively.

not bad since english is my second language. I had issues with some of the british versus american english. I was taught formal british english in school before I moved to the united states. I had to learn how to bastardize the language <G>.

This test listed all the most damnable, infuriatingly difficult (yet common) words we use all the time.

Even my best friend, who can spell circles around me, missed two.
