I will consider your feedback to be constructive if you identify the specific word or words that my spellchecker missed or over zealously changed.

There are nearly one hundred hints in this quiz. A quick review did not identify any spelling errors in the subset of hints that have been answered thus far.

Thanks. Fixed, but naming him without specifying the exact question wouldn’t have given anything away.
