"Wow! You performed at an absolute genius level on this test -- that is the highest possible score that anyone can achieve. You're in the top 1% ranking! This test included questions which had some of the most misspelled words and phrases in the English language. A lot of people fail this quiz because they confuse elicit/illicit, alluded/eluded, and some even misuse to/too/two, but you know your grammar and spelling exceptionally well!"

Seems you aren't alone at the top.



A+ for me aussi.

[Bricktop]

Bollocks!!



In any case, I didn't have to study for years in a University to earn MY score.

[Renee]

Genius Level A+



Christ, that was easy. What a disappointment.

You guys are native English speakers ffs. Doing well on a silly test is nothing to crow about.

[RW]

English is kind of ridiculous.

[RW]

This one is a bit harder...

I don't believe you.  Next you'll be telling us you're not the type to say I told you so..



Personally I love saying I told you so. =P

Oh he says it all right.

Oh he says it all right.

Me too. =)

#2 is wrong btw. As far as I know if two items are different from a third item it's perfectly correct to say that item A is more different than item B.



Also #5 is stupid because it doesn't show the complete sentence (and I have no idea what all those fancy terms mean.) =P

#2 is a very nit picky rule.

I've never paid much attention to all the technical grammar terms. I just go with what sounds and feels right.  Seems to work fairly well for me.

[Bricktop]

What HE said^^^.

[RW]

For the record, "different than" has been used for hundreds of years without too much fuss.  I highly doubt you'd ever get called out for writing it.

I have a grammar rule that goes something like this: When in doubt, word it differently. =)))
