Yep, that was a deliberate red herring; if the only words in the sentence were ones you were sure you knew how to spell, the obvious error would have been obvious.
I spent ages wondering why it wasn't accepting sulphurous- Why can't we all just spell things the same way? -_- Could sulphurous be accepted or the word changed or specify that American spellings are used?
The problem is I don't nearly always understand what the writer wants to say. I get so stuck on the misspellings. Like "bell" - wtf is a bell doing at the ball? Church bell? Wedding bell? And I lose track of what I am reading completely. The best one I've ever come across in a real text was the phrase "peach black". Now that must've been some peach!
Great one- #'s 2 to 10, please, ThirdParty! Being male, I struggled with "not cuff links" for a while. Average score of 25 year olds? My guess is about 3.
I really enjoyed this. Annoyed at myself, though, for spending so long trying to figure out how one sentence was spelt incorrectly, and it turns out the wrong word was used instead, but it's a common misunderstanding. Whoops xD
principal (adj. main, most important) is what's needed to describe the factor, not principle (n. foundational belief that governs behaviour & opinion).
omg that would make things even more complicated like: "I'm panromantic and gender-fluid but spellingwise I identify as male"...
Am I the only who chuckled because outer space is literally out of (earth's) orbit?

Please make the appropriate corrections with all do speed.
Me: "OK brain, calm down and slowly parse each word methodically, don't try and auto-correct what you see."
Brain: "Nah, I'll just scan eight sentences simultaneously like a maniac, something's bound to jump out."
Me: "Come on, there's only two left, just focus."
Brain: "Pft, you're not the boss of me."
