too damn easy

Either the test was a joke, or I cheated. And I didn't cheat. (Although I did notice afterwards that I could have.)

I find it interesting that just about the only place that you lost marks was in the beginner bit... XD

Hey, if you hang around at fanficrants often enough, you pick up all the crappy little grammar rules and spelling stuff.

I guess it's like math - once you pass a certain point and get into the higher mathematics, where you can recall twenty logarithms at the drop of a hat, yet you forget how to do basica addition. (I keep forgetting math is supposed to have numbers in it!)
And once you've made words like "ophelimity" part of your daily vocabulary, and you can conjugate a verb six ways from sunday, you forget "i before e except after c". ^_^

Creative.

Ha, yeah... I can no longer spell. Or rather, my hand can no longer spell. I start writing a word and I'm thinking so quick that the second or even third letter gets written first, complete with capital letter. O_o

I've only just started log functions this week in A.Maths.

I read you. I've had to re-teach myself to spell in English, once I started spelling and reading phonetically because of all the other languages I was trying to cram in my head at the time.

Good luck with the logs. I bailed on 'em, myself.

Ha, I'm having to reteach myself capitalisation rules, after four years of being taught more German grammar than English (or French, but that's not as important). Hence if you read any of my fics from last year, there's a lot of seemingly random capitalisation. -_-;;

Re: too damn easy

[call-me-kei.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, wonderful German rules. Luckily in that case I speak German more than I write. *sneaks off to find TT's older fics*
Of course, speaking and writing both get shot to hell when you start thinking in multiple languages. Instead of random capitalization, words seem to be put in random order (adjectives go before, or after the noun? Is the pronoun and suffix, or independent word? Argh!) And a metaphorical phrase that makes perfect sense in Latin doesn't make any sense in English and is actually offensive in Mandarin!

*headdesk*

Bene, cum Latine nescias, nolo manus meas in te maculare...

blimey........O_o I thought I did alright - but your score makes mine look like something you find under ones shoe....

Re: too damn easy

[tamerterra.livejournal.com]

Heh, I was thinking that about a few of the people who accepted the tag - like pet_luatic's score. O_o

Re: too damn easy

[call-me-kei.livejournal.com]

I don't quite understand the scoring system...
But if it's something I'd find under my shoe, chances are it's worth not only looking at, but talking/telling everyone about/exclaiming over/sending to a museum/making lots of money off, possibly from a television series.
So don't feel bad in the presence of such greatness.
