http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-commonly-confused-words-test

English Genius
You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 93% Expert!

You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

I think I only got one wrong, but I don't know which one! Chances are I'd probably think I was right! I predict that Susan will get 100% across the board.

We are all geniuses though, so I don't think we should let it bother us.

I notice Suet didn't have a go in the end. You moment has passed, love! no.gif

In addition you score higher than other members of the JDBB in English comprehension, as proved by being able to find the answer key here: http://shortredhead78.blogspot.com/

I mixed up my principles & my phenomena & was going with the argument that "whoever" is now used as an acceptable alternative to "whomever".

I can't work out which one I got wrong in the Expert section. As far as I can tell, I got 'em all right. I know I chose 'whomever' in the question Shaz mentioned.

It's a very useful answer key, but would be more helpful if it told you which one(s) you got wrong.

I think you were right too. Surprising, that.
