Wow, I got 8 out of 10 too. Thought I could spell for England... :/

SPOILER:
1 and 9 were the ones that foxed me. Practise with an `s` just seemed too American...

Not bad, 9 out of 10. I thought I`d got them all right but made a silly mistake. :(

10/10, however, the definitions of SPOILER:
`Reign/Rein` and `Pawing/Pouring` are very tenuous, and rely very much on personalspoken context

I got 10 - but only got "practise" because my English tutor pointed out I was wrong to write "practice" a few weeks ago. :D
