Here are some I know or think I know:

Getting closer... you got the bird and the rock correct ... good job!

"Sizzortail Fly Cather" - Are you serious? You gave this guy a correct for his answer? He should at least have to be able to spell it somewhat close.......

"Sizzortail Fly Cather" - Are you serious? You gave this guy a correct for his answer? He should at least have to be able to spell it somewhat close.......

Some of us type quickly and really don't catch typos - it wasn't too far of a stretch to determine that he was right ....

If I remember correctly, not to be picky, but your sentence doesn't sound grammatically correct either.... spell = verb, close = adjective (you should use the adverb = closely).

"He should at least be able to run somewhat quickly" ....not run quick.

English lesson over :-) Have a great day!
