I got plurality excellence too - A+! grin

Katek Mon 16-Feb-15 12:20:43

Me too...A+!! Woohoo!

soontobe Mon 16-Feb-15 12:24:06

A+ plurality excellence too.

I am surprised at that. I had to do some guesswork on some.

It didnt give me a score though. So I would be doubtful I got them all correct.

Also A+, it must be rigged, no way would I have know some of those correctly.

Plurality Excellence! of course grin

Anne58 Mon 16-Feb-15 12:30:22

A+ here too!

Katek Mon 16-Feb-15 12:31:12

Emphasis/emphases were wrong way round though, weren't they?

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 12:35:10

No - just went back to check. They must have amended the question since all those comments were posted!

Katek Mon 16-Feb-15 12:37:22

Aah! I did it last night in FB so you're prob right Ana and they've changed it.

ninathenana Mon 16-Feb-15 14:09:51

A+ for me too. Though I confess to a couple of educated guesses.

soontobe Mon 16-Feb-15 14:18:55

I will have a go putting in some wrong answers pompa, and report back.

soontobe Mon 16-Feb-15 14:23:00

It said plurality master excellent.
It said I only missed a couple and they are missed by 96% of people taking the quiz.

So I am not so sure that it is rigged now.

It froze my pc at the first one!

rosequartz Mon 16-Feb-15 15:34:24

I got as far as 'ox' this time, then the plurals were all typed on top of each other hmm

Jane10 Mon 16-Feb-15 17:41:47

Woo hop! Glad to find I'm excellent at something!

Jane10 Mon 16-Feb-15 17:42:47

Woo hop? It's hoo! Damned mobile phone!

Ariadne Mon 16-Feb-15 18:13:33

Oh, that has been on Facebook so much recently. Very simple, isn't it?

tanith Mon 16-Feb-15 18:16:10

confused

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 18:16:38

Oh well, that's us told! grin

Lilygran Mon 16-Feb-15 18:17:46

Plurality excellence! Must admit I guessed 'moose'. They're sort of deer, aren't they?

Mishap Mon 16-Feb-15 18:18:38

A+ - not really difficult!

Ariadne Mon 16-Feb-15 18:55:57

Oh, I am sorry! Didn't mean it to sound like that, but if you get lots wrong on the quizzes, you still come out smelling of violets. blush

Ana Mon 16-Feb-15 18:59:43

It's OK Ariadne, I knew what you meant...I think! Might try it again giving all wrong answers and see what they say about me.

Greyduster Mon 16-Feb-15 19:04:46

A+!
