how embarrassing. I didn't get 100% in anything...and only 60% in something. but I'm too embarrassed to say what...

Excellent quiz!

Oh dear, back to school for me :-(


IMHO, in one of the questions both answers offered are wrong. WTF?

Liz Hinds said...

I agree, Stu. I suspect an American influence!

Anna said...

I had 100, 100, 60 and 40. You beat me on punctuation and vocabulary! I think at least one of those questions is totally wrong. (I can't remember which one, though. 6 or 7?)

Anna said...

I had better re-read Eats, Shoots and Leaves!

Elsie said...

Hmmmm. What? American influence?!! Maybe you're right. That's the only reasonable explanation for why I scored so high.

Liz Hinds said...

I was very dubious about some of my answers. It seemed to me that they could be either option!

I think, Elsie, there are not only different spellings but different grammar and punctuation rules as well in America.

Elsie said...

I had no trouble with either the punctuation or grammar. Maybe American rules are different.

Stu, I am curious about which question had two wrong answers. I didn't find that. And, I read your blog regularly since Liz turned me on to it. Just wanted you to know. FYI, I enjoy the posts about flying. I've considered lessons for several years, but husband is concerned -- "remember, you can't pull over if you run into mechanical problems." So, for now, I just keep it as one of my dreams for the future.
