A test of English (meme)

[judith_s]

I am probably more embarrassed by this result than I should be. But I missed at least 2 questions. Whoops.

English Genius You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 86% 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! Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

If one of the answers you got "wrong" was the "farther/further" one, don't worry; the quiz got it wrong. Either farther or further is correct in that sentence, and in fact one of the sources she cites even gives progress in academic studies as an example. Hmmph! That was the only one it said I got wrong, so I am claiming a 100/100/100/100 score.

100^4 here too-- and was annoyed at the farther/further.

That's reassuring. Did you also get an 86 with that "error"?

[sfo2lhr.livejournal.com]

No, it was 93%. That was the only "wrong" answer; if it gave you 86 that's probably 2 questions. You'll have to check against the answer key.

My results were the same as sfo2lhr's. Heh.
