2 : complexion tint; especially : the tint characteristic of good health —color or chiefly British colour adjective

1. The appearance of objects or light sources described in terms of the individual's perception of them, involving hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and saturation for light sources.
2. The characteristics of light by which the individual is made aware of objects or light sources through the receptors of the eye, described in terms of dominant wavelength, luminance, and purity.
2. A substance, such as a dye, pigment, or paint, that imparts a hue.
3.
1. The general appearance of the skin; complexion.

7. colors A distinguishing symbol, badge, ribbon, or mark: the colors of a college.
8. colors One's opinion or position: Stick to your colors.
9. Character or nature. Often used in the plural: revealed their true colors.
10.
1. Outward appearance, often deceptive: a tale with the merest color of truth.
2. Appearance of authenticity: testimony that lends color to an otherwise absurd notion.
11.
1. Variety of expression.
2. Vivid, picturesque detail: a story with a lot of color in it.
12. Traits of personality or behavior that attract interest.
13. The use or effect of pigment in painting, as distinct from form.
14. Music. Quality of tone or timbre.
15. Law. A mere semblance of legal right.

17. Physics. A quantum characteristic of quarks that determines their role in the strong interaction.
In terms, they seem slightly different in definition. But still are the same thing.

| I got 13 correct but its a known fact that North Americans cannot spell.Take a word like colour,I am pretty sure that if there was an option in that test for that word most peeps would have chosen color as the correct spelling and there are alot of other words like that |

Skinner Weaksid ...by rights, the dictionary entries should be combined...the only distinction is the 'language' source.
Giving the impression they might be different is not at all clever for a dictionary...

13/15 Hmm it was always easy for me to find if words was misspelled or not, it's just that I suck on remembering proper spelling of words. IeSpell helps me a lot on that dept.

...well ain't that something, scribe meaning I could spell words. All this time I thought scribe meant I scribe to this here site or that scribe was one of those folks who does the abstract crayola scribblin' pictures which I'm mighty fond of. Guessin' I'd better brush up on my three R's

spellin can't matter that much, i mean its sole purpose is to communicate a message thru writing only. so chekc this:
"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
as long as others know what ur saying - it doesn't really matter.

Royal Ass, that's a good one. I was able to read it without trying to figure out any of the words. That was interesting.

I have been preaching that for YEARS!..LoL..Thank you Royal! (you'll forgive me if I refrain from calling you by your full "nick"?..LoL)
I get soooooo tired of all these "punctuation" and "spelling" hounds that feel it's their duty to correct every slight mistake of every living soul..
I have dealt with many of them, being a former *Text based role player*.. It's funny because I have witnessed some very imaginative people writing "in character" fantastic short stories, that have kept me coming back for more..Their spelling was horrid, and punctuation was totally out the window, but I had no trouble understanding their writings and could not wait to read more!
Im glad that they werent put off by people who think it's their duty to teach the world the proper way to write words, it would have been a shame and a loss of some very good talent in that form of entertainment.
Sombody actually "gets it..LoL
Zero.
