100% [ecstatic]

I did do a degree in Eng Lang though

Prunie · 20/11/2007 09:22

Also agree that some of them are wrong in that quiz...

ImBarryScott · 20/11/2007 09:30

100% - to be fair the Persian one was a guess.

I suspect that will be my greatest achievement in the office this morning .

Had a look at Donk's link and nearly PMSL - the guy has actually called one of his programs Merkin!

No, not really, I just misread it first time. It's Markin.

100%.
Can't wait to test dh tonight.

EffiePerine · 20/11/2007 14:01

83% first time
in mitigation, my English degree mostly stopped at 1450

oliveoil · 20/11/2007 14:06

50%

all guesses

no feckin idea whatsoever what it was on about

Bink · 20/11/2007 17:11

another 100%

but lots of tutting & huffing

  • how can you so confidently distinguish between "Scandinavian" (what's that when it's at home, anyway?) and "Old English"? - and how do we know Hindi didn't anciently borrow from Urdu?

ooh and as for the implication that Romanian has morphemes so different from those of French/Italian/Latin/Spanish that you can tell For Sure whether a word belongs to Romanian alone. Really.

fullmoonfiend · 20/11/2007 17:15

100! (2 lucky guesses though)

ComeOVeneer · 20/11/2007 17:19

100% here, but I took a couple of lucky guesses, so more like 83% certain.
