Too easy

Eyelashjam and pgd took this test. I was slightly off with “altruist.”


Your Vocabulary Score: A


Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary!
You must be quite an erudite person.

Update: If you own a Mac I’ve just discovered a perfect way to cheat at this quiz. Put the mouse pointer over the word in question. Now press ⌃ ⌘ D or [ctrl]+[cmd]+D, depending on how you prefer to notate keyboard shortcuts. Don’t you feel like a dirty cheat now? Apologies to non Mac users.

    I got A+, so my powers are undiminished, despite 9 years at Littlewoods Shop Direct!

  2. Rehash says:

    Before I take it, I need to know; Do they grade it more generously for Americans? I refuse to be held up to unrealistic standards.

  3. Neil says:

    Well, I got top marks, it cost less than my English degree and has done me about as much good!

  4. Rehash says:

    A-. I don’t think “peruse” means what I think it means.

  5. Leonie says:

    I scored A- as well. Not bad for someone who left school at 15 with no qualifications. I failed on altruism……..

  6. Frog says:

    Got A- too, not bad for a Frenchman really :)

    Have you been watching the rugby? Given that you caught a game of French football League in a bar, the 6 Nations doesn’t seem so out of reach…

    whoo-hoo! A+

    Thanks for distracting me at work for a couple of minutes =D

    I was invited to watch the Ireland v England match by a couple of lads from Cork, but I didn’t make it because it was early in the morning after the night we’d been drinking. That, and I know nothing about rugby. Really nothing, other than there’s an odd shaped ball and scrums and line-ups at throw-ins, and you can’t pass the ball backwards and sometimes you kick the odd-shaped ball between some poles. And in the end the English got tonked, so I’d have been in for a ribbing anyway!

    The Meg rules!

    Ditto on the A, though it’s scary when you know their definitions are wrong, but can answer ‘correctly’. If you don’t realise which one, I ain’t gonna tell ya!
