Good lesson

Very good lesson and very good explanation. Thanks, Chris.
I've made some mistakes. Of course I didn't pay any attention on the spelling words - and for some examples it was the clue!

Thanks a lot, we are getting great experts in English (both British and American)!

That's really helpful quiz!!!

I made 4 mistakes. When I read the explanation above I was overwhelmed!! I haven't paid any attention to the spelling. Of course, I knew some differences between American and British English that's why I got other correct. Thank you, Chris. It really woke me up Smile As popular saying tells: Wake up and smell the coffee!!! I should be more attentive and diligent.
