Elmar Bijlsma Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 44, but it didn't count as correct some words I typed that later turned out to be on the list anyway. I highly doubt it was caused by typos, given that most were 3-5 letter words. Score should be roughly 70 if compensated for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The auto-complete does that to you. You think you have entered "not" but it has taken the first two letters and lodged it as "no". I would be surprised too if a noun like "year" is more common that verb like "put". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 These are supposed to be the most common English words, but neither tea, fog, weather, umbrella, the Queen nor cricket are included. Hogwash I say! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened a few times, no doubt. But I was wise to that after a few words. But even typing "no" and then "not" it wouldn't count the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 45 - I do worse than I thought. Though a couple of words I thought I had typed in appeared : ( But that would not have got me to Bugged's level [normally a downward move but in this case .....] Affy - still wondering where you will end up! It is quite disturbing to the spirit I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
