Grammatically speaking

You will always win because I am a softie.

 

94%

I can live with it.

 

I'm not at all ashamed to say this thread makes me want to have @Baraka_Guru's baby.

DAT ENGLISH.

 

91%. Got two wrong.

Though, some questions didn't seem they can be answered incorrectly, yet somehow did.

Can't you be both bored of and by math class?

 

While I did get it right, the whole less and fewer thing bugs me. It is a rule of thumb rather than a grammar law. Either would be correct, to suggest otherwise is just being pedantic (don't make me sic Stephen Fry on your ass).

 

But you still didnt tell us what you got

 

Lish, I'm clearly the most retarded dude on the board.

Blind luck would get me a 10%.

 

Hear, hear!

 

My goal with the English language was to be like Bruce Lee: Flow like water.

The level of performance I've achieved thus far: Flow like a bowl of Cheerios.

 

I got a 94. Pretty disappointed, actually. Having come off the back of an SHL test on Tuesday, I was in full-on test mode.

Paltry.

 

97% is a score I can live with. That whole "who/whom" thing has always tripped me. Even as I was answering, I kinda knew it was wrong.

 

I suck.

 

Bloody touchscreen!
I got two wrong and both were because my fat thumbs pushed the wrong option.
I swear I'm not just making excuses

 

I'm a classic grammar nazi, and I can own my shortcomings. But, whatever helps you sleep better!

 

94% which I'm pretty pleased with since my grammar knowledge is poor.
(should have stayed in high school, stupid.)

 

91 percenteres REPREZENT!!!

 

I think I just confirmed what I've suspected for a long time. Learning disability of some sort.

I was never able to pass grammar. I went to sub-par Connecticut schools and they just shoved me along to the next grade (they did the same with maths) For most of my post-elementary school life, I carried a pocket dictionary everywhere.

I totally get the to, two, too thing--easy--and there, their, they're--no problem, but kitten! no matter what I do I can't get it's and its right.
I thought apostrophe something meant possession like Jane's book, not Janes book but why then is "it's" not possessive?

Anyone have a solid mnemonic that I can use for it's and its? I hate feeling stupid and worse, putting stuff out on the interwebs that is riddled with mistakes!

 

"It's" vs. "Its"

 

Also, you TFPers in general are actually really good with grammar. I thoroughly enjoy reading long posts in articulating your thoughts in various analogies and expositions.

TLDR: Y'all mahfuckers be all edjukated & shieet!
