Do you diagram sentences in your spare time? You got 9/9 correct.

Not bad
But you may want to think twice about pursuing a career as a copy editor.

I am the math/science type, not the english/history type. Graph that.

I got 8/9. I missed #7. The correct answer doesn't sound right to me because I'm so used to hearing the wrong thing. Even the answer states that it sounds pretentious, but as it is, English, especially American English, is a pretty messed up language.

9/9 Three years of Latin pays off. :) And I just happened to look up lie/lay/laid/lied a couple weeks ago. :D

:eek: 6/9

I missed the first one 'cause I clicked the wrong box. (sux alot more when I do that on real exams)

and then, yeah...#7 owned me. So did the lay/lie one. (methinks I thought too much about it)

Grammar is not my strongest subject, but I did pretty well here. :)

I got Jeri Ryan. It should have been 8 but I clicked the wrong one on 5. I will probably always get 3 wrong in real life. The rest were easy.
