Idk, my spelling has gotten worse since I've used the Internet and there's still a few words I know I spell wrong but I do it anyway. XD;

I was supposed to be in a Spelling Bee in Grade 5, but I didn't have a ride so I missed it :s I was also the only kid in grade 2 that could spell "apostrophe", and the only kid in grade 7 who could spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" and "floccinaucinihilipilification".

I'm superb at spelling, and I'm a grammar Nazi.

Holy flip Yusshin, what in the world does that mean?? :O I smell alien!!

I'd say I'm pretty good, at least compared to most people. Sometimes I just feel like writing slang, but when I have to write something formal or important, I make it right.

I'm up in the top 5% for spelling and grammar in Ireland. :3 I'm pretty good at it usually. I make a typo every now and then though. If my mind wanders when I'm writing something, I could also make a mistake with grammar or something.

I have a pretty high level of spelling ability. When I enter data on computers, though, I tend to make a ton of typos because of my typing speed, though I usually catch most of them through the spell-checkers and my own eye.

I'm pretty good at spelling and if I can pronounce it I can probably spell it...
I'm also a grammar Nazi, but English isn't my first language.

I am usually pretty good at spelling, but I constantly make typos, both on the computer and in writing. Occasionally, though, a few words stump me.

I'm usually pretty good at grammar though(One of the top 2 in my class), even though I absolutely HATE it.

^ This one is 500 px long for sure >_>

Antidisestablishmentarianism: To be against the disestablishment of the church

Floccinaucinihilipilification: The state of being worth next to or of nothing

Most people say that antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest word they know of. I know the medical term for volcanic ash in the lungs is one of the longest :s but it ends in "microscopicivolcaniconius" or something like that. I never really looked at the word; it starts with pneu (representing the lungs), though.

[Edit]

Here it is:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

I got 1/2 of it right lol which is good, considering I saw it once about five years ago and remembered it to this date :s

I am pretty good at spelling. Though usually I use the spell checker within Firefox to keep on top of myself whenever I do make a mistake. :P

That being said, I do tend to misspell some words consistently, but I let the spell checker catch those and correct them before hitting "Post" usually. :P

Not bragging in this post, but yes, I'm actually the best in the class <3

Some words such as "definitley" catch me out, though 8-/
I made a thing for that.

defi-nite-ly

:s I always think of it that way, and it works lol kinda like "together" became to-get-her, when I was in grade 3.
