ring0 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 10/10, which is about what i expected. i'm an engineer, but i had an english major as a roommate and i was always helping him with his grammar and spelling - he constantly wondered why i decided to deal with numbers and theory instead of writing/language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnsonBox Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Someone bring JohnsonBox! :D Hmmm mate, didn't you act impudent, did you? Your score was just 6/10, while mine was 9/10! ;) So remember, picking on JB's English grammar will be a lost cause! What I need to improve is to get accustomed to the usages that vary with different English speaking country. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonBlur Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Nice work! Do you diagram sentences in your spare time? You got 10/10 correct. They could have made that a bit more complicated... there were only 10 questions! Also, looking at a test and anylizing what the correct answer is when you have multiple choices, and simply writing out your thoughts in real-time are two very different things.

So remember,? picking on JB's English grammar will be a lost cause!? What I need to improve is to get? accustomed to the usages that vary with different English speaking count:). :) Ahem... no offense, but this may be a good time to point out the difference between knowing and understanding, if you catch my drift. Now, don't take that comment personally, I'm just stating an observation. Many people know the rules of the English language, and given a test where you get to pick the correct answer, will do rather well. On the other hand, many of those same people simply don't understand the pricipals well enough to apply them in their own writing and speaking. Also, our current culture seems to like to shorten everything, and dumb things down. FOr example: peaple know it's and its are different, but they are just too lazy to use the apostrophe.

Shifty Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 One thing I cant stand at all is how some people dont know the difference from "than" and "then" ie: His dong is bigger then mine. or His dong is bigger than mine. which is correct?? if you picked the first one, "then" you are wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd better understand that is a test! That is, as common sense, any examinee wouldn't use his/her own informal usages in a test!

The point is, the person has limited choices, in this case, they have 3, and one is correct. It is much easier to "prove" you have great grammar on a test such as this than it is to display it in your actual writing. And trust me, I've seen many, many people score well on tests like these, and then when you tell them to write a full paragraph, you just stare at the page and can't believe how many errors they made involving the exact same problems presented on the test. Now if only I could find a good example of this... :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Do you diagram sentences in your spare time? You got 8/10 correct. Part of the problem was Q7 - is is often used incorrectly in Aus. English, as opposed to were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I heard all year was anti-Bush and no war junk from her. :rolleyes: Anyhoo, I'm in the High Achievers' Program, so you'd expect something good of me- regardless of the teacher.
