Yes, it would have been embarrassing. I was actually just a tad nervous when I submitted my answers for grading!

Were you also frustrated that the quiz did not give you actual test results (and the "correct" answers)?

I work with people whose educational level may be 12th grade on paper, but is more like 6th grade in actuality. When I meet someone with whom I can play word games, I become giddy and have to sit down till it passes.

OK, I'm all right now. Thanks for the bench time.

The site crashed trying to compute my terribly low score. I'm still trying to get that 'i before e' thing down. Oh wait! that's spelling... Damn!

I sentence myself to a hundred "On Language(s)" for my poor understanding of english. Cut me some slack though, it is a second language for me. I spoke 'baby' for a long time, and those habits are hard to break...
