Sorry to bump an old topic, but some of these are just pure nitpickery. Some depend on tense, which in practical application is purely dependent on the context, such as the "Neither Jackson nor Jenna" problems. And the principal/principle is the biggest bit of nitpickery I saw there: BOTH can be used in that context, from what I gather from the definitions. Also, what's proper in theory is not always proper in application. Imagine how dull conversations, books, and movies would be if everyone spoke "properly". It'd be like all of us being lawyers! xD My score was 39/50, but only because I saw how many different ways a number of these could be done and still be acceptable at large. Mayhap 'tis the curse of being an aspiring author. :P Addenda: Iiiinteresting thread drift. *arches eyebrow*
