literacy test

i got 16. and here i thought i was a brainbox

18/20, not too bad, it's a long time since I was at school!!

19

20 - girly swot

18 - very disappointing especially getting a spelling one wrong

(would be very bad at maths one so probably give that a miss!)

20,

20 as well - sure it was a fluke! ;)

17, all spelling errors. I would expect to do better at the maths, though.

20, and like Aloha, I was NERVOUS.

'Accomodation' wrong.
Don't even know if I've corected it.
Old habits die hard.

Ahem. That would be 'corrected.

me too - accommodatin - 2 c's and 2 m's!!!!!!
also got the one about the brother wrong, magscat, but I reckon there were 2 possible answers to that.
feel thick now

20 even though I'm a scientist . I agree about the hyphen though binkie, it's not really necessary.

erm... there's an 'o' in accommodation too....

I'm with you Binkie! Bloody hyphen - spoiling my perfect score!!

BTW, aren't we a literate bunch?!?

19 - agree with Binkie on the compound adjectives: I am always having this argument at work.

Seems I'm in the wrong, though

We're either a literate bunch or a pack of liars, nerdgirl

it wont even load for me, not sure what that says!

exactly cod! I get the "how smart are you?"

but a blank page

17-20. Okay for someone who only sat CSE English 19 years ago (god, is it that long?)

17 here. It was the stuff at the begining I flumoxed on.

18 - buggered up on tacitern & questionnaire

16 never taught all the alliteration/ metaphor/ simile stuff..
