i blame the education

 

[Gwylan]

I got 10 too.

It would be interesting to see the age profile of people getting 10. For someone of my generation, they weren't particularly difficult, but when I was at school it was important to spell properly (or you lost marks).

Spelling's not such a high priority now so these wouldn't so easy for a younger generation.

I was surprised that they didn't have 'lose/loose' and 'there/their/they're' there.
