Finally, a test to see if you're allowed to post here.

If you score fewer than 19 points, kindly shut the door on your way out.

18 - coat on. Shutting door quietly.... that I can't yet join the club

I got the first two wrong but the other were all really easy so I can still call myself a pedant.

To CD - if you did the test thinking to yourself "CLOSEST meaning of options, you mean CLOSEST meaning of options, you don't mean synonym you fool", then I'm right with you.

Agree with CD and also I would disagree most pedantically re. "buzzed". It's onomatopeic but it is not onomatopeia, surely? Or am I getting carried away with my 20/20...

19 here.

I agree CD, not exactly the same meaning I thought.

20 (preen) but was a bit unsure about the hyphen and ostentatious does not mean the same as prententious

I agree CD. And WHERE ARE THE FULL STOPS AT THE END OF THE SENTENCES?

Yours sincerely,
TPL (Score 20)

I got 19

I didn't know the meaning of avarice

A smug 20 here which may make up for the completely hopeless housewife I am!!!!

20/20 here too! (Thank heavens!)

Watch my score plummet next week when they do maths.....

(Pedantically agree about ostentatious)

I am very , and a grammar school girl too!

Ooh 19 and I am not even a pedant

Probabaly just as well as I am embarking on teacher training in September!

19 - another one who got mixed up between a simile and a metaphor.

I've never been able to spell aacccommmmodation

Damn that bloody hyphen

19. Sod Jane and her bloody house.

Apostrophes before and after the S always get me.

I got 18. I don't want to admit it but I did. I could have sworn "taciturn" meant something different! And it was another definition question I got wrong too..

But I'm not leaving! Gonna throw me out.. eh eh?

Bet most of the 20s are lying

Hurrah!

20 here too.

phew - full marks.
I can post here without shame
