English Test

I found this test and decided to give it try and see just how bad I am.....

Advanced

You scored 86% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 66%

Expert! (WooHoo! I was more proficiant than I had believed!)

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels' questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.
Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

I thought it was interesting to note that the most accomplished takers of this test were ALL over the age of 55. These people were educated in the days before air conditioning in the schools, the newest educational theories by the "professional educators" of the NEA, and in many cases never attended a facility of higher education.....So tell me, don't YOU think that our educational system might just benefit from taking a giant leap back?
