Today someone I follow on Instagram posted with a comment about their "partner and crime." I was laughing out loud when I read it.

I've got a bone to pick with the 3 I got wrong- because my answers are commonly accepted versions of the words I got 'incorrect', or they were the stupid American English versions.

Sorry, but I have a fist full of 'judgement' for the "correct" answer 'judgment.' Also, if an 'error' has occurred since the 17th century and is still widely accepted, at what point of existence is it no longer an error? (I'm looking at you, supercede/supersede).

(I'm looking at you, supercede/supersede).

This is the one I got wrong. I've never even seen it spelled supersede. :mad:

(although I did get judgment right - I think I'm the last person on earth that still spells it that way though. I've even had teachers tell me I'm wrong and it's no longer spelled without the 'e'!)

In America. Everywhere else, that E still stands. And apparently most of my literature is not American-based or I've forgotten, because I tend to use the 'e'.

Same here. But as these are the only ones, I got wrong, I'm pretty happy. :D

 

[Cheer Dad]

Another person who got the supercede/supersede question wrong. But that's mostly because I just ignore Firefox's spellcheck since it thinks Canadian English is wrong.

Is there anything not wrong about Canada? Just kidding.

I wish I could add a "u" to all our words, I love how it looks. Colour, favourite, honour, etc.

Is it Colombia or Columbia (South America) for some reason it looks odd to me when people spell it Columbia.

I'm pretty sure it's Colombia in South America and Columbia is in South Carolina.
