Good quiz, however it seems you're not using official type-ins. Minesota usually works on other quizzes.

But why should it work? It's not the correct spelling.

Because it works on all featured quizzes, so people get into the habit of typing it like that and can miss it for that reason. Consistency is important.

Unfortunately, your laxity in these matters is encouraging very bad habits.

Are these quizzes testing knowledge or spelling?

Spelling is knowledge.

So knowledge can't be related verbally, such as on Jeopardy?

Spelling is knowledge, sure, but it's not necessarily the aspect of knowledge under test, and probably doesn't represent what you think it represents. Personally, I think it would be great if Jetpunk generally offered "strict spelling mode" and "no strict spelling" as option; but as a practical matter, this would require a duplicate set of answer patterns for most quizzes; and it would result in endless debate over valid variant spellings and spelling authorities, especially over things like transliterations. It's hard enough to come to a consensus on just what the name of something even is in English.

As you grow up, you'll realize a lot of what you thought about the rules of language usage are empty, and tutting and tsking over one rule or another simply says something about your narrow background and perspective than anything else. But you'll have to get beyond school-age prescriptivism to see it.

Are you American? The correct spelling of the state has two N's.

This quiz was featured for the first time. It was reset because the original version had several errors.

If you get the spotlight award, you can spotlight any quiz (either yours or someone else's). It'll show up a few days later. I think the process of giving out the award is randomized, but if you're at or above level 50 (which I see you are) and have been on this site for at least 6 months, there's a good chance you'll get it sometime.
