Had 41 last night (real test)(might have been 40, depending on how picky they are on spelling). This test felt easier, but I got 39. Got tripped up by the popular culture stuff (didn't know Green Day or Gwen Stefani q's) mostly. Spelled "praetorian" "praetorium", so don't know whether that would've been accepted...

I did get "complementary" because it was a TS at the $1000 or $2000 level this week; I'm wondering if they threw it in there because of that? Can't remember what night that aired.
Pending...

I wonder if they would have accepted "complimentary" since it sounds alike but has a different meaning.

Both on the show and on the written test, I'm sure they would. On the show, there wouldn't have been any way to tell which word a contestant was saying. Here's what the FAQ page says about written responses:
Correct spelling definitely helps in the test grading process, but - just like on the show - you will not be penalized for errors in spelling as long as they do not change the way the response would be spoken.

Still lurking on this thread, and wondering if we're ever going to get the transcript of the clues...?

Feel free to watch Sherder's video and type out the Q & A's for us.

A link to the transcript was posted the night of the test.

Try page 2 of this thread about halfway down. (follow the bucket of chicken... not the white rabbit)
