Quick Test

Just as a quick test, see if you can tell which of the following words are mispelled.
supercede
conceed
idiosyncracy
concensus
accomodate
impressario
rhythym
opthalmologist
diptheriea
anamoly
afficianado
caesarian
grafitti

In fact, they all are. So was misspelled at the end of the preceeding paragraph. So was preceding just there. I'm sorry, I'll stop. But I trust you get the point that English can be a maddeningly difficult language to spell correctly.
