i had an english exam yesterday..
in exam, there is a question.
The correct answer is that "it is this question that some inventors have been asking them selves"
but i wrote "it is this question that some inventers have been asking them selves"
So i'm curious about the inventers is wrong word in USA??
Or inventers is variant spelling???

There's nothing calls "inventer", this is not English. The proper spelling is "inventor".

taejin Park So my answer is wrong???"inventer", if it exists at all, is so unusual that it would appear to most people as a spelling mistake, so, yes, it is wrong.
"them selves" is also wrong. It should be "themselves", one word.
The word "I" must be capitalised wherever it appears. "i" is always wrong.
