Heh... just randomly found this as I was reading comments.
The quiz was made in the delirium of a saturday night where I was fevered. Once I got better I looked at it and said the same thing you did, but I was far too lazy to take it down since quizilla is fucking slow. Half the shit I didn't even write though so it didn't worry me too much.
::shrugs::
Though I know how you feel about things, though I know I can be accused of some of the... points you have made in you entry.
I also noticed that if you blatantly insult someone their defenses bring you goodies. Try it. I'm experimenting with abasement now: by jeering at the music scenes I want to further explore, the die-hard scenesters will hopefully defend the pride in their big badass scene and send me compilations with only the best material on it. They better, I didn't pursue sociology for nothing.
"English in high school and college were such bores to me because I understood all the presented concepts and couldn't even conceive a way for people to miss them, but when I look into the facade-bearing faces of internet-folk I'm really discouraged that people didn't care enough about their self-betterment to even pay attention!"
I'm convinced that it has to do with people not liking to read, or not having the time, or any other excuse they may have. The sense for spoken language is developed by listening, and the sense for written language is developed by reading; "practice" only leads you in circles if there's no relatable observation going on.
I tend to be very careful in critiquing other people's writing, unless they're a raving asshole and I'm being fueled by anger- because I know that many people would turn up their noses at my writing, which is by no means grammar-Nazi friendly; since that kind of arrogance isn't sexy at ALL, I have no desire to parrot it
