How's your spelling and grammar?
I've got a test that involves spelling and grammar in a few days, for a new job.
My grammar is ok, when I can be arsed but I think my spelling sucks. I just sat with my g/f for a hour whilst she read word's out to me and I spelt them. Overall I think I did ok.
Basically I'm looking for words you would use to try and trick someone in a spelling test.
For example.
recieve
receive
ocassion occasion
embarrassment embarassment
Please point out any mistakes in this post too, as I did try.

They will probably use test from someone like SHL - who have very kindly put some practice tests on their website.

On this site I suppose on of the most common mistakes is "rediculous" And also their/there/they're usage being shot to hell.
Basically, you're (not your) all thick as ****.
