garcon Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ANYBODY who gets less then 20 out of 20 in that should never be allowed to abuse the written word in public. (And was probably too busy trying to look up the teacher's skirt in English lessons...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looking up a Christian Brother's skirt never appealed to me. I'm glad to hear (er, read) it. But was he trying to look up your shorts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, in spite of all the corporal punishment administered, I can't accuse any of them of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch_KTF Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Only 16/20 Struggled with a couple of the meanings and stumbled on the who's/whose one. Hopefully the test isn't definative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.O.A.M Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 There are plenty on here willing to help, but there is a tendency to attempt to shut them up. I got a laughable 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I got a laughable 9. And my education is slated I got more than 9 put it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 More seriously, anyone who prides themselves on good written English should really be getting 19/20. As far as here is concerned, however, as long as you get your point across (ideally just the once... ) I don't really care. Naturally, I will remember EVERYONE who picks anyone up on spelling and grammar errors in order to pounce on every one of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc88 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 14/20 like above, i stumbled on some of the meaning ones and the whose/who's one's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Naturally, I will remember EVERYONE who picks anyone up on spelling and grammar errors in order to pounce on every one of theirs. Quite right too! Everyone makes mistakes and it's the only way they're going to learn or take more care with their typing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 19/20 and ashamed to say after recent coaching I missed the bloody Apostrophe!!!!!!! Good to see you giving it the respect it deserves with that capital A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
