Each of these words has a spelling error, see if you can find it. No dictionaries virtual or physical, and no other sources. Only your mind. Each set is worth Star Points. You have to answer them in the sets, you can't divide them with other users or do anything other than answer them in their sets.

Set 1 -- half a point
agressive
Febuary
premutation

Set 2 -- one point
antidistablishmentarianism
supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovocanoconiosis

Now, that wasn't so hard, wasn't it?

Set 3 (find all the mistakes you can, correct it ) -- 3 points
Lanfairepwlllgwingylgogeriechwyrndrobwlllllantesiliogogogogoch
This is a Welsh place's name, maybe Uncle Elmo or anyone Welsh here can get it

Set 1:
aggressive
February
.... premutation? I can't figure out what that's even -supposed- to be... premature ejaculation? :-P

Set 2
antidisestablishmentarianism
um... not a real word :-P supercalifragillisticexpiallodocious... did I just spell it the same way you did? :-P
and for this last one, did you just toss together a bunch of medical terms? ;-) um... *shrug* well I can't figure it out without aide of a dictionary so I guess I just helped some people with three words :-P

edit: oh, there's a set 3

hmm... nevermind, I Won't even bother

Set 1:
aggressive
February
Permutation

I'd do set 2, but the second one isn't a real word, and the third one I've only ever heard pronounced.

*ahem* since no one was willing to do ALL of them, I might as well give it my best shot

1: Aggressive, February, Permutation

2: Antidestablishmenterianism or Antidisestablishmentarianism, could be either;

Supercalafragilisticexpealadocious (just borrowed from Ed);

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

3: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Simple, done.

EDIT: fixed something

Zem gets #1. Easy.
Nobody got #2. All are spelled wrong
Kefka got #3. (I thought I was the only person with so little life as to memorize it...)

You can still get #2.

Dunno what word YOU'RE thinking of, but it sure looks like antidisestablishmentarianism to me!

And supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious (I think that's the correct spelling) isn't a word... unless you count words made up in Mary Poppins.

And pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis IS the correct spelling! Check it in the dictionary!!!

Fine, I'll let it go to you, because it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, not with two l's. You now have 4 points, tied with NSNick!

NSNick scored some easy ones before the board death. I guess you can say he got some cheap points. You earned yours the hard(er) way.
