12/15 richard Francis novels. Spelling ones were easy; pronunciation ones hard. ETA: D I C K Francis; apparently acceptable for a book jacket but autocorrected to Richard by proboards |

7 out of 15 and I was taught speech therapy by a British woman. When I was younger every time I got drunk the question to me was when did you come over to Canada. lmao

I got 11, which is a bit of a disappointment because half my podcast list is from the BBC and I once had a British boss. He used to drive me crazy by referring to times on the half hour as, for example, “half nine”. I had to keep clarifying what he meant because to me, given my knowledge of German, “half nine” is 8:30. To him it was 9:30.

12/15, but I would contest one I got "wrong" if there was a way to do so. (Pronunciation of 'garage'). I know several Brits, and the one I picked is the way they pronounce it.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
