I'm not entirely sure I know what Twitter is for!
I heartily recommend this much more useful test

I got 90%, so my English teacher would not have been very happy with me. Wish they'd told you which words you got wrong so that next time you need to write them, you spell them correctly.
No point in telling you that you have got something wrong if you don't provide the right answer; otherwise you never learn by your mistakes.

95% and I agree with Primrose. Cheers, Tony.
95%! I know which ones got me - I was guessing "embarrassed" and "occurrence" (and am still guessing!!!)
One that an awful lot of people would get wrong is No. 9:The giant sea creature opened ... mouth. I am fairly sure that most will wrongly answer it's to that one!

I can never understand how one can confuse the its and it's - I mean, just replace the it's with "it is" and you can't possibly go wrong, can you?
I once saw a really funny spelling mistake: a large (independent) shoe shop put up a big professionally produced sign "Shoes and Sandles 20% off". And it stayed up for months!

I tried it, but it just came up with, "Error, you must use English".
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Well, except for when it's stands for it has, anyway!
But seriously, the only thing that most people were ever taught (if anything at all!!!) about the apostrophe is that they should use it to form possessives, so they automatically assume that it's must be correct in sentences such as the one about the giant sea creature.
But why so many use it in plurals is beyond me!
