Also 19
I didn't know what one of those words meant.
actually, i did that too
fuck me, i can't even remember properly. I spelt fine, but thought taciturn meant firendly (or something). I actually thought it meant subtle, so i had to kinda guess.
Full marks :D
And so I should, given that I write for a living.
Do you think I can put this on my CV?
i should do
it can't do any harm, it probably has more value than GCSEs nowadays
IT WAS HARDER WITH THEIR EARLIER STUFF
18/20
i didn't know what two of the words meant :(
i'm so stupid
that the quiz won't even work for me. It just comes up with 'you scored 0/10'
lol
18
I FAIL.
20/20
yay
it doesn't work for me
pools panel says 15, internets win
18.
fuck AVARICE
and FUCK THE HYPHEN
and for those of you wanting the maths test next week
this is from 3 years ago.
Go me.
15/20
I'll have another try.
17
pleased.
20/20, thankyouplease.
My boss will be so pleased.
Join the smart boys club
now roll on Maths tomorrow :S
I predict a camathstrophe.
if someone can find the link
it is a few years old this
now THAT is a sentence. And that's a bee! And that's a suction unit!
you should tell him/her
mos def
18
stupid mistakes. I hate apostrophes
20/20
Do I get to write for a living now?
full marks
i would be rather worried if i didn't tho
also i don't think some of the word definitions were strictly accurate
sorry to anyone who got 20/20,
you're not actually clever. because I got it too.
Maths!

uh oh :(

all hail me

Had to guess most of them.
I think my personal favoruite was
Cathy and Brian winning the lottery, but then splitting it 5:2
WHY STOP THERE CATHY, TAKE THE CHEATING BASTARD FOR EVERY PENNY HE'S GOT
17/20
BOSH
oops, 18
i clicked the wrong button on one. but i'd worked it out right.
yeah that was kinda my reasoning
it was the laptop one.
Some of them i wouldn't have had a clue without multiple choice
17
i don't think i've done any algebra since i left school/uni.
you're excuse is invladilated too
18.
but there was one i couldn't really be bothered working out so i took a wrong guess..
pfff
you're excuse is invladilated
Full marks
Which, considering I can't spell my own username properly, is mighty impressive.
19/20
just as well considering I make a living from writing BBC billings
20
I'm ecstatic
18
how the hell would "I've just found my long lost brother" not have an exclamation mark at the end? of course it fucking would, that question is retarded
not necessarily.
but it should definitely have a hymen.
Hahaha!
quite easily
I've just found my long-lost brother
that didn't need an exclamation mark
unless you are sadpunk
to be fair, it should have had one
"i've just bought some beans, cleaned the front room and found my long-lost brother"
as if
18
Mistook the simile for something else, and didn't get the hyphen
yeah i seem to be bad on the simile/metaphor thing
18 :(
20/20
and i'm rubbish at english.
I was always taught
a simile was a kind of metaphor.
It's like a metaphor
except it isn't
19
Stupid "accommodation".
19
Avarice >:@
20 out of 20!
One was a bit of a guess though - does 'long lost brother' REALLY need a hyphen?
oh and I got 17 in the maths one
but at least 5 of those were just lucky guesses :(
18
hyphen?
Full marks.
The only challenge there was a couple of the synonyms, surely? People really should know all the grammatical stuff.
yeah i agree
:)
only cos those are the two i got wrong. still feeling pretty ashamed about that though. i'll claim they teach 'em differently in oz. yeah.
17
i'm ashamed i couldn't spell fucking necessary.
and the hyphen thing? wankers.
i also got the metaphor one wrong, and for that i feel i must resign from life.
20/20
but I guessed what avarice meant
19/20
My Editor will be pleased.
Pah Only 19
I spelt acccommmodation wrongly
