Anyways, here's the the quiz. See what "your" made of, and post "you're" scores in the comments :) http://www.businesswriting.com/tests/commonmisspelled.html PS: we didn't answer #'s 26 and 27 because those were the British spellings

Spelling Bee
I've got many-a pet peeve--people whistling when I whistle, idiots that don't know how to work 4-way stops, etc. One of my biggest pet peeves, however, is misspelling. Probably the one that grates on my nerves the most is when people wrongly substitute "your" for "you're". It drives me nuts! Another really, really annoying one is spelling "definitely" wrong. The most common misspelling is "definately". UGH!! Anyways, Anna and I came across this quiz containing the top 25 misspelled words. We took it together though and made a 17 out of 25. I guess making a 68% doesn't really give me much room to judge :)
