Oh right. Someone was trying to explain Zaza's mastery of the English language.

I had a discussion with VernalTemptress a couple months ago about words with double sets of double letters. Remembering which words have single vs double sets of double letters can be a real pain.

Yay for the lowest native speaker score so far!

Spelling is what really screwed me up. I think 3 of the 4 I missed were the spelling ones.


Ditto. I have two dictionaries on my desk, but it would have been wrong to use them for this.

    I thought the definitions they gave for ostentatious were kind of weird...and they liked using onomatopoeia at the start. Not certain many people use it frequently enough to associate the term with the usage.
