if they coouldn't read the word the yes ofc !!

but if u flipped for example an ia with an ai then no .....

the point is as long as they can read the word correctly and understand wat u r trying to say then sure u'll get the mark if it answers the questions :D

GOOD LUCK !!

There is one thing in biology paper 3.
If you write colorimeter you get marks. If you write calorimeter you dont. This thing's mentioned in the mark scheme itself.
There are many such examples where the meaning of the word itself is changed with a simple switch involving a single letter, not necessarily a huge lot of letters. In other words, meaning of something becomes meaningless.
I think they'll accept american/british spelling differences.
Its not that you write something and its understandable, you get marks. Sometimes you lose it, depends on the checker.
If you wrote "The yuong mdoulus of a sbutsnace is srtsess dviiedd by the srtain." then you probably won't get the marks.
But if you wrote "The young moduluss of a substance is stress divided by the strain" then you probably will get the marks.
