I wanna see Steve take this test.

The commonly confused words test


You scored 93% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 66% Expert!

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.

Compared to users who took the test and are and in your age group:
  • 100% had lower Beginner scores.
  • 100% had lower Intermediate scores.
  • 100% had lower Advanced scores.

    You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 77% Expert!

    Go, me!

    I have to say, however, that they are using rather strict usage rules. I mean, I've never even *heard* of a rule that distinguishes 'hard' from 'difficult', and a number of the other ones (e.g. 'critique' as a verb, 'while' vs. 'whilst') are really not hard and fast rules in modern usage, and I was especially ornery in answering the silly quiz, and was not content to put in the answers that I'm sure they think are right. So, it's pretty silly!

    I agree, that's why I wanted to see how you did/what you thought ;)

    When I took it the other day I got 93%/100%/93%/66%

    I made a stupid mistake on the first set too...
