I propose that all members must do this test before being allowed in :

Anyone scoring less than 18 should be ridiculed, hounded out of the forum and, in extreme cases, shot.

Obviously I got 20/20 because I'm ace.

[MK Chris]

Oddly, I almost proposed this myself. I think it's an excellent idea.

[Ezza]

Erm... I did well.

[CassieJackson]

I got 19. At least it was enough to save me from ridicule, hounding and shooting. For now.

[MK Chris]

Just don't do a maths one as well.

[timp]

I got 18 which is OK really.

[timp]

Ironically there should have been a comma in that sentence, maybe there's where I lost the two points!

[Ezza]

I can do maths, maybe one of them would be better.

[CassieJackson]

I think we're safe without maths tests. Unless there's some secret mathematical rules to match the grammar ones that I don't know about yet?

[Console]

Drat, it requires Flash - oh well, I'm sure I'll find some way of getting the answers right.

[Boboff]

cough, 15, cough, still you already knew that, I'll kick ass with maths though.

[Andy B]

17/20 - rubbish!

much better at maths though.....

[Ezza]

I got 17 too... but now Andy and Boboff got the same or worse I don't feel as stupid.

[Vivienne]

This is silly, Bruvva. I don't normally have a problem with you, but this is bloody silly.

[Munki Bhoy]

Since I can work google for the meaning of words, 20 out of 20.

[S4B]

I scored 20 and, unlike Munki Boy, I had no need to cheat! This is a fabulous idea, can we make it sticky please Console?

[Munki Bhoy]

Google is not cheating. It is acknowledging that you cannot and will not know everything, but you at least know how and where to find out.

That's what I'm sticking to anyway.

[S4B]

You should have known everything on that test, it was basic English. I will try it out on my 11 year old boys tomorrow and see how they fare.

[Munki Bhoy]

There are certain words in the English language I just don't use. Usually because there are simpler, more common words to use in their place. They were the only questions I had any problem with, the others I did on my own.

Do you want a red pen to mark my posts?

[S4B]

To be fair your posts are usually grammatically good, as is your spelling, which is why I was surprised you didn't score more on the test.

I'm nowhere near as picky as Topher by the way, although he will deny this.

[TIAL]

14/20. I mostly got stuck on the definitions.

Honestly, I got 17 without the google, so I passed the grammar part of the test. It was just the dictionary part I struggled with. It might have been more if I'd just guessed, but then that would have defeated the purpose even more!

[Yudster]

Wasn't a problem. 20/20. I wouldn't do so well in maths, but probably better than when I was younger.
