I tried spelling Theropylae about 20 different ways - guys, you've gotta lighten up on the spelling a bit, several times I got as far as "thermopyl.." and it still would not accept. There is a DIFFERENCE between British, Canadian and US spellings sometimes which are not accounted for - I know this is all in fun, but it is a bit frustrating!

I wonder how you were spelling it? Thermopylae, Thermopylie, and Thermopylea all would have worked. But I worked on it some more to make it easier.

Got everything except Thermopylae, because I couldn't remember what the "300" battle was called. Got the rest, though! Almost missed the Somme, because I wasted so much time trying to spell Passchendaele before I remembered that wasn't the right answer :)

Gettysburgh is spelled with an H at the end, much like Pittsburgh which is spelled wrong in every quiz in which it appears on this site.
Quizmaster replies:
No, it's Gettysburg.
