But the one correct answer that still sounds totally wrong to me, is #5.

I guess I need to study more on talkin good.

Just an aside: it is a violation of the board rules to hijack a thread.  Thread drift is one thing, but outright hijacking is not allowed.


 

 
 


i supose this was directed to me.
ok Doll...i'm outta here



Go back and re-read the post.  i was still editing when you quoted me and that portion of my post was deleted.
 
i have trouble proofreading my own writing.  i think i'm finally finished and then, when i read the post, i find stuff that still needs correction.
 
This means s'times i'm misquoted.  It's a pain but i do the best i can to complete proofreading before hitting the 'ok' button.
 
The deletion was not directed at you, sirholly.  i hope you decide to stick around.

Status: offline 		That test was fun! I really wish they had explained why certain answers were right and some were not. The few I found tricky I would have enjoyed to read why the answer was what they said it was.

42/50 - I need to brush up on my grammar rules!
