Innuendo Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 #7 has two correct spellings. dependant and dependent are two different things. Eg, dependant could be your kids, dependent, contingent on. # 10, forward, front part of a ship, forward manner. foreword, preface, introductory words. I'm sure it will be in your Funck & Wagnals. At that, I did not do that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hudson Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 16 out of 25, I'm a mess. , but "foreword" is wrong...it's forward, so 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccairspace Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 16 out of 25, I'm a mess. , but "foreword" is wrong...it's forward, so 17. Sorry, Don. "Foreword" is the short essay that precedes the start of a book. "Forward" describes the direction of action when reading the book. (Unless of course it is a magazine that you are reading, which most people read backward.) If you include British spellings, you might find your total improves: acknowledgement judgement supercede Managed 19/25 first time through and after appealing the American spellings, made up 3 more for 22/25. I wasn't embarrassed about the occurrence of the errors, but the above noted argument was reassuring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canus Chinookus Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 supercede One entry found. Main Entry: su·per·cede variant of supersede usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error. Can I get a gimme for that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon The Loon Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Agreed. Supercede has the base word "cede": 1. [v] relinquish possession or control over ; "The squatters had to surrender the building after the police moved in". 2. [v] give over; surrender or relinquish to the physical control of another "cede" is not a co-spelling of "seed". Otherwise, no beef with my 19/25 on the first run through. Won't be doing any more as my luck will get me a lesser score with another kik at the kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
