I Kan’t Spall Vrey Wlel

I generally pride myself on a good head for language and I consider myself rather adept at spelling. Why is it, then, that I did so atrociously on this seemingly simple BBC word quiz?
Bloody Limeys. They think they’re sooooo cool, just because they invented the language.
Well, at least we’ve got “trucks”, “restrooms” and “elevators” instead of “lorries”, “loos” and “lifts”. Oddballs, the lot of ’em, I tells ya.
