    Default How grammatically correct are you?

    I might get lynched for posting this, but there has been a lot of discussion about grammar and punctuation on here recently, so let's all find out how good (or bad) we are.

    Have a shot at this quiz and let us all know how you get on.

    Before anyone asks -- no, I didn't get them all right.

    The quiz's rating system appears to be more sophisticated than I first thought. You can get a few difficult questions wrong and still be a Grammar God, but it seems to penalise you harshly for a single elementary error. It's more like real life than a school test.

    "You are a MASTER of the English language!"

    "Huzzah. While your English is not exactly perfect, you are still more grammatically correct than just about every American. Others admire the way you speak and could learn a lot from listening to you. Still, there is always room for improvement..."

    I got 18 / 20
    Why be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

    And wisdom to know the difference.

    You are a GRAMMAR GOD!

    Congratulations! If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be. You can smell a grammtical inaccuracy from fifty yards. Your speech is revered by the underlings, though some may blaspheme and call you a snob. They're just jealous. Go out there and change the world.

    Hmm I cant repeat the word that it called me as this is a family based site and young children might be reading my posts. Needless to say it is questioning my parentage ! and what I do to the english language.
    Good job I am Scottish .
    See its not only the literate ones that are prepared to post the results. The dumbos like me can as well.
