Now, here's yesterday's Thorough Thursday post in its entirety, with the errors highlighted in red. (Oh my goodness, the dreaded red marks!)
_______________________________________________________

Thorough Thursday is going to consist of a few short sentences that will include mispellings and possibly minor grammer issues to test your attentivness to detail, and to see how thorough you are.

In the first of this feature there are 14 words spelled incorrectley. It can be challanging to acomplish this task with readers posessing such exellent grammer skills. Each week, the mispelled words will be posted at the end of Fun Friday's Spelling Challange.

It will be fun to see whom recieves the best results and catches the most errors! Good luck, and check back tommorrow to see how you did!

_______________________________________________________

So, how'd you do? Several of you left comments of having found 13 errors. The 14th was the use of whom, when who is correct. That was the only grammar error. I belief Elspeth may have gotten that one!

You all did very well! Between yesterday's and today's exercises, you all have worked so hard, so go and enjoy the rest of your day, and...


Have a HAPPY weekend!

  1. I probably didn't do as well on this spelling test, as several words were new to me!

  2. I missed yesterday, so I did the challenge this morning and got all the errors except for "whom." And now looking at it, it's so obvious!

    Today I got all the words, even the bonus one! So I get both stars, right?

    I like your challenges. They're a very creative way to help us test our skills and have fun too!

  4. I got both stars on the spelling - hip-hip-hooray! But I was guilty of not reading (or keeping in mind) the instructions fully on yesterday's challenge, so the only one I missed was the grammar error. I SAW it (the whom where it should be who), but was only searching and destroying the words spelled wrong. Sigh, how elusive perfection!

    ps - kudos to Elspeth - you GO,girl!

  8. Great words. I missed one but did get the bonus. Got all of the ones yesterday. Might have missed the Who/whom one if I hadn't read your earlier post. You rock!
