"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.
Bollocks!!
In any case, I didn't have to study for years in a University to earn MY score.
Genius Level A+
Christ, that was easy. What a disappointment. :mad:
You guys are native English speakers ffs. Doing well on a silly test is nothing to crow about.
English is kind of ridiculous.
This one is a bit harder...

#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
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.
What HE said^^^.
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.
Quote from: "RW"
I have a grammar rule that goes something like this: When in doubt, word it differently. =)))
Hey I found a cool site: //http://www.thepunctuationguide.com/index.html

I like that you think it's cool. It makes me feel less alone in my nerdom. Haha
Geeks. :001_rolleyes:
Jealous.
Quote from: "RW"
I think you mean envious? ac_biggrin
No I meant jealous.
Quote from: "RW"
How can I be jealous of your geekdom? Envy would be my reaction because you have more geekness than I.
Jealous means to show envy.
Quote from: "RW"
No, jealously occurs when something we posses is threatened by another person. Usually it's a relationship.
Envy occurs when we desire something someone else has. In this case it's your geekiness. :laugh3:
That's not the only meaning of jealous though. Definitions of jealous include:
* feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages.
synonyms: envious, covetous, desirous
* feeling or showing suspicion of someone's unfaithfulness in a relationship.
synonyms: suspicious, distrustful, mistrustful, doubting, insecure, anxious
* fiercely protective or vigilant of one's rights or possessions.
synonyms: protective, vigilant, watchful, heedful, mindful, careful, solicitous
I'm not going to argue this with you.
Just be advised that you are wrong. ac_sothere
I am most certainly not wrong.
Quote from: "RW"
Yes you are.
Nope.
Quote from: "RW"
Yep.
From a psychological standpoint alone you wrong.
Jealousy and envy are distinctly different emotions. Unlike jealousy, envy completely lacks the feelings of betrayal and outrage that are necessary for jealousy to occur.
I feel no betrayal or outrage at not having your level of geekness. I only feel relief. :laugh3:
