I predict 20/20. Off to take the test now.

Ah! well I take issue with question 19. "I've found my long lost brother," said Julia. I think it's perfectly fine without a hyphen (twixt long and lost). Though it is fine without an exclamation mark too, I guess.

19/20

16/20 - I think it's good regarding I'm not a native speaker

Double post - sorry.

I got 17 out of 20. The whole "what does the word mean" screwed me big time. I'm not event sure why that's in there. How big your vocabulary is shouldn't be part of determining how good your english is. You could have a relatively small vocabulary and still have perfect grammar and puncuation.

19/20

I think their issue is that without the hyphen you might get confused as to whether long is modifying "lost" or "brother," even though I'd have a comma seperating the two if that's what I was up to.

I found my long brother.
I found my lost brother.
I found my long, lost brother.
I found my long-lost brother.

I dunno. Makes sense to me.

[/i]"Was the film good," asked Peter.[i] was tricky too, since they've taught it both ways. Regardless, when it's obvious they're looking for something, it's not hard to guess what they want.

20/20.

16/20,

gah 15

19, I spelt Accommodation wrong You'll be pleased to know I got their/there right

It would of been funny as hell if you messed that up!

19 out of 20 here

16/20 for me.

19

Damn, I've got English GCSEs in about 6 months

taci-whatever

bleh!

17/20

English is my 3rd language lol

17/20

I'm amazed how many people got the vocabulary ones right... although I do wonder how many people used Google's "define:" or another form of dictionary.

20/20.

The rest of the family didn't fare as well.

Oh, never knew about that (need a thumbsup emoticon which isn't winking )

Am I the only one who got below 15? :"> I scored 10 out of 20, I have just woken up so :-"

Well you are Australian, and I'm not sure what it is you guys speak but it doesn't seem to bear even the slightest resemblance to English so there you go.

2/20

17/20

Yeah, what's "feesh and cheeps"? Also what sort of number is "sex"? :-"

19/20 too, fell over on the last one with regards to the hyphen. Spent all year getting shouted at by my English lecturers for using the hyphen, apparently it's bad English to ever use it.

Bloody Universities teaching wrong English.

There really is no such thing as "wrong English" just as there is no "wrong way to dress" - just English that doesn't conform to a particular standard. You can't wear a Speedo to work, you know?

Geez, 14/20. The first questsions were difficult as I didn't know terms like "Onomatopoeia". "Taciturn" and "ostentatious" were also new to me. Well, that's the difference when you don't speak English as your native language.

You can't?

I should set up a webcam in the IPS office to prove you wrong.

Imagine that next time you phone support

Really? I was taught that if you have a compound adjective, one in which mixing up the order of the words makes no sense, that you needed to hypenate it, as shown in the test. The book we were using that taught it is basically considered one of the best English grammar books as well. Hyphens are a natural part of the English language and any English teacher that doesn't think so is, well, wrong.

However, there are places in English where using a hyphen is bad. One such example is using it to break sentences up when either restructuring the sentence or using commas would work just fine.

My score? 18/20. I didn't know one of the words and I misspelled "accommodation".

15/20

Presumably it would be demanded if you worked as a lifeguard.

19/20, tripped up over the hypen.

Same. I'm terrible with words that have double letters in. (I got 19/20)

I'll just use live chat instead of phone support now. :-"

Clean sweep - 20/20.

18/20

19/20

Cool - a new service!

:-"

11/20 and proud of it.
