Regular readers of the Kronicle know how spelling challenged the Kronicler is. Well I just took the test below and only got 17 out 27 questions correct. How well can you do?

Same score......I understand that Thomas Jefferson said that a man who couldn't think of more than one way to spell a word wasn't a man. Then again maybe that's just hopeful thinking...

21/25, leaving off the two British ones at the end, both of which I missed.

Sister Florence, you are without a doubt my favorite commenter on this post. :-) Alan, you, and I need to join in a rousing cheer of:
Misspellers of the world ... UNTIE!

BTW, the rest of the commenters have seemed not to realize that the purpose of the comment section is to help the Kronicler look good. :-)

What do you expect from a Kronicle?

"...leaving off the two British ones..."
I was tempted to ignore these as well. I have enough trouble with English. Why bring a foreign language into it.

I don't get it. Kronicle looks fine to me. ;-)

Got hung up on the British and "preferred".
I don't think that's fair.... (whiny voice)

Thanks for the cheer and affirmation.
I like Alan's quote from Jefferson and I use that for my matrix and follow it to the letter.
Spell check helps too but what does it know. It doesn't even know monastic terms and underlines them red.
so you see spelling is relative.
