this is one of those perfect 5 minute quizzes that was designed especially for us grammar/english freaks on here. :o
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    LOL. Well, I got to the first question and it said 'what do you call the part that's underlined in a sentence'? So I picked no. 3 and it said the answer is a 'smilie'. :confused:

    Then I realised I failed to read the sentence to the left. :rolleyes:

















    Yep, I gave up after that. That says it all. hahahahahaha heeheehee hooo

    ditto. i remember when i used to be smart...it's deteriorating quickly. :o:D

    i picked exclamation point...i would think if she had found her long-lost brother, she'd be showing a little enthusiasm! i saw that choice and didn't even keep looking...

    20/20

    That was a fairly easy quiz. I never got high grades in grammar and literature classes, so for me to get a perfect score means it wasn't all that difficult of a quiz.
