Freak out!

[noisyparker]

I saw this Commonly Confused Words test in indigoskynet's LJ. I had a great deal of fun taking it so I'm passing it on for the edification of other English language freaks.

indeed.. so Levente: 100, 100, 81, 66.. whilst sick with the flu! Maybe I'll take it again when my temperature isn't 102 :|

Hey, but mine said I beat 100% of the people in my age category.. perhaps they drew the line at 24..

my English teacher would be extremely happy to see my score. thanks for making me look like a Monday morning brainiac ;)

[noisyparker]

I found it funny that I still knew the right answers... even though I frequently (and sometimes willfully) ignore them in actual use. :-P For some reason, it was nice to have a chance to actually think about them again, though. Perhaps I should devote a day a month to doing it 'their' way.

In honor of your brainiac status I hereby bestow some virtual 'head pats' upon you until you can see your English teacher again. ;-)

chances are I won´t see my English teacher again, barring reunion, maybe, should I be dumb enough to go. so please keep up those virtual "head pats" ;) I might start purring, though

[noisyparker]

ah... we'd have a classic positive feedback loop going! ;-)

I am Extra-Terrestrial! I find it amusing that users aged 55 - 59 scored highest on everything. Goes to show you the english language gets abused more and more each generation.

[cre8ivityeludes]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly

And of course their English is an abuse of their grandparents' English.

Now we're talking! Yeah, that is part of why I ignore the 'right way' myself... just doing my part to keep the language alive. ;-) I am particularly creative in my use of punctuation. :-P
