John pointed out<\/a> The Commonly Confused Words Test<\/a>, so I gave it a shot. My results:<\/p>\n

\n Advanced<\/strong>
\n You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 61% Expert!<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> score. Remember, these are commonly confused<\/em> English words, which means most people don’t use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Exceptional or not, I have to admit, I’m a little chagrined by that 61% on the Expert section. I’m generally rather proud of my command of the language, so getting a ‘D’ on that section of the test really<\/em> makes me curious as to where I goofed up. Unfortunately, the only answer key available is for the Beginner section, which I scored 100% on.<\/p>\n
