    I was logging out of a Hotmail account when I noticed this cool quiz subject... about grammar! Are You Gramatically Incorrect? I got 6/9 right. I'd say I'm proud. ^~


    Also, at your results page there should be links to two other quizzes. One is Watch Your Language, and the other is How Well Can You Spell? (But I'm not there yet. ^~ I'm taking Watch Your Language first.)

    The one I really want to know about is the grammar one...

    Come on, guys! Grammar can be fun! ^~

    LOL! 7/9! i'm very proud of it:) i think it's really hard to make a test like that, we had just 9 questions, we have 65% of chance of getting all wrong:(

    Hey, those were TRICKY questions! :mad:

    Anyway :p

    Um... the its / their confused me. I have to admit that the lay down thingy was a new one for me.

    ----
    "After working on my car all evening, I finally lay down to sleep at around midnight."

    Even your persnickety old English teacher is probably flummoxed by lay and lie now and then, particularly when the words are used in the past tense. To lay is to place something somewhere. To lie is to recline. But here’s the kicker: The past tense of lie is lay!
    ----
    AAAAAAAARGGGHHHH I have to jot that down. (By the way, who was the &#@)$^#&*()@^%)&*@#%)&*( that invented those two verbs?

    It's not fair! I thought i'd get an 8/9! GRRRR

    OK on the second run I got 9/9! LOL!!!! OK 5/9 on the first. In fact, this little quiz will help me a lot with writing my fanfic! Regardless of - cool.

    curses.. 8 of 9. Missed problem 4 :(

    Oh man I'm such a perfectionist it is embarrassing admitting that :p

    In an attempt to redeem myself, I took the 'watch your language' quiz -
    "Bravo!
    You sure know what you are talking about!You got 7/8 correct."
    I never did know what Auld Lang Syne meant. curses again.

    On to 'how well can you spell' .. the results of that one will never be known hehe

    Am I grammatically correct?
    Not bad
    But you may want to think twice about pursuing a career as a copy editor. You got 6/9 correct.

    Watch Your Language
    Bravo!
    You sure know what you are talking about!You got 6/8 correct.

    With all my long-winded replies around here, you'd think I could get better grades than that....Guess I gotta earn back my Baka title somehow... :p

    Well I guess that I need to read Lord of the Rings for the third time now to bring my English (and Elvish) back.

    Y'know what? I got the exact same answers, Mattsu-san! ^_^ (Unless I got a 7/8 on Watch Your Language, which I do believe I got...)

    And on the spelling one, I got a 13/15, and they said I'm practically a human dictionary. ^_^

    Well, my linguistics prof said that effective communication was the important thing anyway...
    7/9 for grammar
    15/15 for spelling, and only 3 were guesses!
    I only got two wrong on the vocab too.
    Who the hell knew a pipit was a bird? Aren't these quizzes a little geographically biased?

    8/10 I PWWWWWN.

    I just made stupid mistakes. But, honestly, I don't think about this stuff often, it's interesting to see how you do. I feel that, once I get into a few years of University, I SHALL BE SO SMART.


    not really. Poor me, I am doomed.
