    Good communication is not necessarily about using an expansive vocabulary. It is about properly using the words and punctuation you already know.


    Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test ...

    Advanced
    You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 73% Expert!

    You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

    Do you have to have an account or what? I finished all the questions, and now it wants me to sign up :/

    Edit: Nevermind, now it don't ... somehow. Results:


    -> English Genius <-​

    You scored 86% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 80% Advanced, and 93% Expert!

    You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!


    *preens*

    I like the test!


    Edit2: And now come on, all you wannabe-natives. So far I own the thread.

    I got the same exact score as the OP. Basically guessed on the Beginner 'Hardy/Hearty' question, though.

    That's not quite as good as I would have liked. I'm going to go over the answer key now and see what I got wrong.

    There is much Lulz to be had at some of the quizzes. I just took a Raptor attack quiz.

    Wish I could see what I got wrong though. Bet one was that colon/semi colon but I'm not sure.

    eh... do they remove points for the questions where multiple answers are possible?

    I couldn't find the answer page or whatever key thing he goes on about at the start.

    Edit: nevermind, it's his blog thing, apparently

    Edit n°2: there are mistakes in the answer key...
