    Hum, I wrote that after having seen this:

    C. and d. don't correspond to the same choice in the actual test, and it gives max points for d. while saying b. is the only right answer. It's not very important, because it's an easy question, but there might be more.

    Anyone want to bother actually registering an account on muggle.net or another failsite and getting their averages? I'm actually quite pleased with DLP's standards!

    Well, I dunno... I went through the pages without answering the questions the second time (to find the answer key), and it told me I did better than 2% of the people in the beginner section. ^^

    Can't believe I got one Beginner question wrong. I'm getting rusty.

    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. Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

    Meh, I could have done better.

    I'm surprised I did as well as I did, considering I don't write much and haven't paid attention in an english class in ages. I think the more relevant data is your comparison to people the same age, which makes me all fuzzy inside.

    Beginner:12
    Intermediate:18
    Advanced:39
    Expert:28

    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! Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!




    I did better than I thought I would.

    Not as good as I would have liked, but I guess it's alright for my age.

    It annoyed me that I missed any for beginner, but I did better than I thought I had.

    I think there was a question about the Indian Language though, and I had no idea Hindi was actually the language. I was just watching the comedy vid from that 'Terrorists and Indians' and in another of his stand-up acts he said something about idiot Americans that thought Indian was a language when it was really Hindi. I cried...

    I know I missed the whomever/whoever one, that always gets me. I missed that affect / economic one too, for some reason. I'm ashamed of that one, easy. :(

    But meh, I still like my score. :p

    I'm not sure whether to be dissapointed, or pleased.

    I did it again copying the answers from the Key, and got 100 93 100 100.

    Somethings wrong there...

    You scored 86% on Beginner,
    You scored 57% on Intermediate,
    You scored 73% on Advanced,
    You scored 67% on Expert,

    This score does not reflect an inability to converse intelligibly, but it does, however, reflect your inability to determine the proper spelling and/or uses of many commonly confused words of the English language. There is no reason to feel bad though. They are commonly confused, so you're not the only one!

    Now I know why i can't write.
