    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!

    Geez, I'm kind of disappointed, I thought I'd do better.

    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!

    Straight hundreds. Fucking stupid quiz though if you ask me. Can be easily solved if you take the time to read Strunk and White at least once in your life.

    Mr Yak told me to come over here in a reply to my introduction.

    I barely made genius, which seems to be the highest rating, even though all you need is 80% or more in each of the four stages.

    Strange thing is: I just checked his answer key and I had all the correct answers. Did this happen to anyone else?

    Since we're talking about English grammar, can someone explain to me why the 'I' must be placed in capital letters?

    Stolen from elsewhere:

    Why is "I" capitalized?
    "Ego has nothing to do with the capitalization of the pronoun I. Printing and handwriting have everything to do with it. In Middle English the first person was ich--with a lower-case i. When this was shortened to i, manuscript writers and printers found it often got lost or attached to a neighboring word. So the reason for the capital I is simply to avoid confusion and error. Of course, some writers refuse to be bound by this convention. Two of our favorites, the poet e.e. cummings and Don Marquis, author of archy and mehitabel, both favored the lower-case i" (Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins 303).

    Fun quiz, though I'm in the process of trying to stop smoking cigarettes so my mind isn't in its best shape. Meh.

    I messed up hung and hanged. Damn it, that's an easy one. Told you quitting was messing me up, I messed up naval and navel. Wow.

    Best of luck with that. I quit 9 months ago and remember it being an unpleasant week or so. The first day I saw phantom cigarette packs all around me, and even now I miss smoking. That said it was well worth it and not solely because they are so fucking expensive. Of course I drink more, now that I don’t smoke, but that’s neither here nor there.
