Uyarı: Burada takip edilen telaffuz dizgesi, İngiliz "Received Pronunciation" dizgesi, veya "BBC İngilizcesi" dir. Amerikan, Avustralya, Yeni Zelanda, vb. diğer anadil ağız ve diyeleklerini izleyenlerin, özellikle farklı ünlü (vowel) tercihlerine saygı duyarım; fakat hece vurgularının yüzde yüze varan ölçülerde aynı olacağına dikkatinizi çekmek isterim.

SPELLING QUIZ
(Intermediate to Advanced)
Do not let the Notorious Confusables Confuse You !!
Mr. Nıçlay Lubzi has committed ten monstrous spelling errors in the following sentences, one per sentence. Can you spot and correct them?
Very easy:
The stationary shop you're looking for is the third one from the
corner.

waist-paper basket.
Beside
Ayşe, Fatma was the only girl who attracted any attention at the wedding
party.
The kid had led poisoning, which is also known as saturnism, plumbism,
or painter's colic.
Lightening is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, which typically
occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or
dust storms.
Quite Difficult:

intelligence activities.

story ends rather abrubtly when the main character dies of an overdose of
heroine.
We just couldn't decide one way or the other. It was a viscious
circle that we were trapped in.
A venal sin is one that is minor and pardonable; a mortal sin,
however, involves a lot more depraved behavior.
Very Funny:
The inn had quite a reputation for their excellent recipes for
peasant meat. We ordered three peasants stuffed with rice.
