I got a C. I only noticed one incorrect answer, and I wouldn't so much say that the test's answer was incorrect as that there were actually two correct answers for that question.

I only missed two on the Citizenship Test.

Show off! I only got 90% on the Citizenship test. I don't know if I want to take the grammar test & possibly see my GPA drop below 3.o_O

I would agree that one question has two correct answers, depending on how many people were met. I also believe there is another wrong answer.

I think we are in agreement about the first one (of course I chose the wrong correct answer) and I thought that one other was wrong as well. Consequently I ain't gonna loose any sleep regarding my score

Yes, that's the only one I missed. I'm pretty sure either version is acceptable. MsGuy has always been my go-to comma man, but he's probably busy on Flirt4Free brushin' up on his Russian. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

 

I should have got that strange word definition wrong too, but even a blind hog gets an acorn once in a while. Or should that be once in awhile? http://r13.imgfast.net/users/1311/16/41/09/smiles/1814739676.gif

Bad test, bad, bad, bad. One of the questions is about the origin of a word, another is about spelling, and a third is about a "word" definition. These are not grammar points, people.

So I scored 86% (2 "incorrect.") One of the "incorrect" answers was to the Denzel Washington question. There are actually two correct answers.

Agreed. My other "incorrect" answer was to the question about the term coined by David Foster Wallace. That was not a grammar question.

I agree about the symbols question and the definition of SNOOT as items that shouldn't have been on the test.

 

The 1st error I saw is in question #1 Chris' cars is perfectly correct.

 

The next error is in question #3. But it's not the answer. Taking what we know of Denzil Washington-the only answer that makes sense is the one they give. However the error is in the question itself. The sentence should have used 'whom' instead of 'who'.

100%, but the "click anywhere to proceed" is incorrect. it would only proceed for me if I clicked on the answer I'd given.

Well when I clicked anywhere to proceed I clicked so violently when nothing would happen that things did in fact proceed and I inadvertently clicked on a wrong answer.

 

 

So as noted above: bad, badder, baddest test ever!

73% but only because I'm pretty good at picking correct answers on tests that I really have no idea about......or since this is a grammar topic.....about which I have no idea.

After ze Yale literature degree and 30+ years editing as part of the biz: grammar & usage & punctuation are what I say they are. :p

 

No milord, I beg to differ. Grammar, usage, and punctuation are what I say they are. Furthermore, uncountable legions of gurus (guri?) each have (has?) the exact same (redundant?) opinion of their (his/her?) own judgement judgment.

 

Now let's fight about the serial comma. That'll truly throw this thread off the spool.
