IdrisTheDragon · 03/07/2008 13:21

I got 19 due to a sudden memory loss over spelling accommodation .

TheFallenMadonna · 03/07/2008 13:21

20

But my posts here are usually asking for help rather than commenting on howlers.

And I start my sentences with conjunctions...

StellaDallas · 03/07/2008 13:24

Gah, I got the hyphen one wrong. Anyway it SHOULD have had an exclamation mark.

LynetteScavo · 03/07/2008 13:28

At this point I would stomp off to net mums, but can't figure out their crap site. [thick emoticon]

LynetteScavo · 03/07/2008 13:29

I agree about the exclamation mark stella!

shrinkingsagpuss · 03/07/2008 14:30

oh dear.... better run away, can't ever join, only 14 - but to be fair, my DS was jumping up and down next to me. Anyway- question 19, where was the hyphen supposed to go?

Twiglett · 03/07/2008 14:32

hyphon? .. I wouldn't worry about your score keeping you out if you spell hyphen with an o to be honest

I really don't think any of you will be surprised that I'm not welcome in these parts.

13/20.

I'm quite sure I would have got a few more if ds4 wasn't being such an annoying little whingebag ATM.

Blame him for making me thick.

Ladytophamhatt · 03/07/2008 14:49

Actually, Blame all 4 for making me thick.

It is their fault after all.
