I think we all have our moments when we read and see weird  grammar and punctuation, but here is a little test if you want to find out how good you are.

 

No cheating, 14 questions:

I scraped 11 correct with a bit of luck.

Haha. I can understand that feeling:)

The irritating bit is once you change it the chances are you were right the first time grin

This is the problem, I look at a word and it's right but now many are starting to look wrong.

 

Then you keep seeing it different on the forum and I get confused then about how it is spelled.
