This is a rather decent quiz to test your knowledge of english words, plus it has pretty pictures.

So let's see who wins a "Reading Comprehension Certificate" which will be presented to the boy or girl here at HAF who has the highest score!

Good luck kids, and remember to be honest when reporting your score.
(No retaking the test, or using a separate tab or dictionary to look up the words while taking, remember some god(s) you don't believe in may be watching)

TAKE QUIZ HERE







I got a B+

"Some people just need a high-five. In the face. With a chair."

Firebird

A+. Though  24/30 seems low for that. I mostly bombed the first few and was certain I'd be too embarrassed to post my score here  :)
"Great, replace one book about an abusive, needy asshole with another." - Will (moderator) on replacing hotel Bibles with "Fifty Shades of Grey"

Claireliontamer

29/30 A+

There were a couple of educated guesses in that lot but I owe my high score mainly to my English teacher at school who used to regularly give us quizzes like that!

Guardian85

28/30 for an A+ score.

None too shabby, if I do say so myself.

Magdalena

I got a B+. Considering English is my second language, a B+ is not that bad.  :)

Sandra Craft

28/30.  I didn't even know there were words for some of those things.

Buddy

30/30. we used to take quizzes like this in high school English.
Strange but not a stranger<br /><br />I love my car more than I love most people.

28/30, though a couple I got right were lucky guesses.
I am what survives if it's slain - Zack Hemsey


Icarus

29 of 30, but a couple of them were lucky guesses.

Alright, so everyone here whose taken the quiz has received an A+ so far? Hmmm.

(Except myself and Mags, and I was cold and a bit tired when I took it, as I had just come in from being outside on my bike for a couple hours, so my test results should be curved some I think)

Anyway, at this point it looks like Bud's in first place for the ladies, and Icarus is in first place for the men. I'll probably wait until the end of today to post the winning certificates, just in case there was someone who's interested in taking the quiz who didn't see it over the weekend.

Thank you Bruno....But......I doubt that I have earned first place for men because, as previously stated, a few of my answers were wild ass guesses that turned out to be the right answers. As much as I would like top dog status, that is profoundly
unlikely, considering the intellectual, linguistic, and  lexicographical capacities of some of our members.

29/30, however, the process of elimination was used on at least two occasions.

It's a type of Lego's, you know the plastic building blocks, not sure why Icarus is mentioning it here...maybe he guessed at more of them than we realize? 8)
