Maybe I should offer a prize to the first person to get them all right. Or perhaps it just means that everyone needs to read my forthcoming book: 'How to Teach English Spelling'!!

Luckily! But there must be SOMEONE out there who can get 100% on the quiz (first time).Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298865019130446615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355643440964865816.post-21050184134148533952009-03-16T01:04:00.000+00:002009-03-16T01:04:00.000+00:00I'm not sure it is too difficult, I just think we ...I'm not sure it is too difficult, I just think we have gotten away from understanding language!
