John Lindsay, editor of the Santa Cruz (Calif.) Sentinel, tests job applicants to weed out the "language and spelling weaklings." Test your strength by underlining the spelling errors in this passage:

In my judgement, he said, the cemetary proposal came as a suprise to the city counsil members. We did not think it desireable, and some of us truely believed it was made to pave the way for the new developement proposed last week. But I am willing to yeild my bill to build a liesure park out there and we can put his bill in the catagory of matters to act on at once.

Total spelling errors______.
