Yes, yes, I know, online tests, who cares, but this is actually smart. Also humbling.

The mental_floss Grammar Quiz

I got a smooth 50%, with help. A blogger I look up to scored 40%.  You try.

Star Spiritgate (8:14:01 PM): huh, apparently "(SPOILER)" is correct
Star Spiritgate (8:14:04 PM): I overthought that one
Import Justice (8:14:16 PM): huh
lumi colada (8:14:16 PM): hey no spoilers
Import Justice (8:14:18 PM): oh mans

Star Spiritgate (8:14:26 PM): oh
Star Spiritgate (8:14:30 PM): whoop

lumi colada (8:16:19 PM): AHAHAHA
lumi colada (8:16:24 PM): I got ONE OUT OF TEN on that test
Import Justice (8:16:26 PM): what's so funny?
Star Spiritgate (8:16:27 PM): LOL
Import Justice (8:16:28 PM): :O :O :O

Most of this is outdated language, since English, like any other active language, is dynamic and ever changing.

I used to know most of this, but I honestly couldn't care less about WHAT things are. That part of grammar was always dreadfully boring to me.

I sat on the "to boldly go where no man has gone before" one for quite a while before deciding I was right.

I didn't know what the hell the subjunctive mood was in the first place, so I got that one wrong, as well as 'to boldly go' and 'A's and Bs,' which I really should have gotten right, but whatever.

70%.

I had to think back a few times to get myself to actually dissect the phrase instead of just going by what I think sounds right. Good quiz, I just wish it didn't take your first click/answer right away and move on, because in a quiz I often have choose my answer a few times before committing to a choice.
