This quiz shouldn't accept misspellings in my opinion. Or atleast misspellings leaving the last letter missing.

For example, I answered Riyadh and went on to answer several other capitals only to realize none of those were accepted because "Riyad" was accepted for "Riyadh" and the h started my next answer and the capitals started piling one after the other "hLondonDublinBerlinParisMadridLisbon".

We agree. Riyadh, Tallinn, Phnom Penh and Sana'a now have to have their last letters typed to earn the point.

We've gone off what the nations themselves declare their country's capital to be. Israel's parliament is in Jerusalem, although it doesn't automatically follow that the location of the parliament must also be the country capital (think Amsterdam and Pretoria, for example).

I am trying to type in things as humanly possibly fast WITHOUT LOOKING at the screen - I look at keys. For the love of god - accept FULL ANSWERS ONLY. I don't want that goddamn leftover 'n' from Tallinn left on the screen, nor the leftover 'a' from Sanaa left either. It's irritating in every single quiz. Accept full answers only - no one likes those left over letters in the type-in box that serves no purpose but to slow down the people who actually can spell correctly.
