Can Blogthings Users Spell?

No doubt about it, the internet is plagued with horrible spelling. (I admit I’ve probably contributed to this quite a bit!) I’m happy to report that Blogthings users are super spellers.

I recently wrote How’s Your Spelling? – which covers some of the most commonly misspelled words. On average, Blogthings users got 8.15 out of 10 questions right. I’d say this is pretty darn respectable.

Unsurprisingly, the average posted score on blogs was 9.39 out of 10 questions right. I guess even admitting your spelling is less than perfect is embarrassing for some bloggers!

Could Blogthings Predict the Election?

Probably not, but so far we’re 1 for 1! Fred Thompson was generally in the bottom three for our visitors when they took the Who Should You Vote For? quiz that we just launched yesterday. So it’s not that surprising that Fred was not popular enough to stay in the race. (And as a result, he has been removed from our quiz.)

Who would Blogthings visitors elect as president? Well, if they voted their hearts, early results suggest it would be Dennis Kucinich or Barack Obama. Who wouldn’t be president? For Blogthings visitors, it’s pretty clearly Mitt Romney.
