How many of you could pass a grammar test if given one right now? - GoFuckYourself.com

Phoenix · 07-28-2013, 07:46 PM

I am writing lessons on grammar, and i am constantly having to look up the actual rules.

Too many years using Weblish has rotted my brain..lol

candyflip · 07-28-2013, 07:50 PM

I am a Grammar Nazi. I would pass, easily.

bronco67 · 07-28-2013, 07:53 PM

I've seen some seemingly smart people who have the grammar and spelling skills of a 2nd grader.

I remember being in a spelling bee when I was a kid, and always having decent writing grammar -- but now I'm married to a a teacher. I deal with a real life grammar Nazi, not someone on the internet.

I would like to think i would pass. However, there is so much i just don't remember.

particles..different types of nouns..lol
sure we might know what they are, but if asked the definition, i break down and look it up.

ReggieDurango · 07-28-2013, 07:53 PM

I think I could pass the test.
I was an English major in college!

I probably wouldn't pass. I know my grammar sucks.
I'm fine with that and usually ask someone to proof read and correct grammar if it's an important note.

my "legal" English is better that my everyday English.

Ethereal · 07-28-2013, 08:51 PM

I have no clue, but I can always be the douche saying that they fail because English is not even their second language.

defunk · 07-28-2013, 09:23 PM

i'd fail in like 30 seconds. I never have to formally write anything, let alone with my hands :P

Yes, i think many people who have English as their second language would do better then those of us who use it as our first. I don't think it was emphasized enough in school here.

Grammar doesn't start with a capital, nor does nazi I don't think.

Bourke · 07-28-2013, 11:34 PM

I am confident I would pass.

Particles or participles?

He is using it as a title, I think uppercase works.

I think I could pass a grammar test.

I have noticed over the years that my penmanship has taken a big hit since I started doing the vast majority of my writing on a computer.

I got 38/40. I think the 2 I missed were "British" as opposed to American grammar answers.

Tom_PM · 07-29-2013, 08:37 AM

When enough people screw up consistently, they'll just "correct" the rules to match. Like how the dictionary now contains "Irregardless" which became a word because so many people mistakenly thought it already was. Having said that, me grammar be good.

Jim_Gunn · 07-29-2013, 08:47 AM

I'm filming today so maybe I'll try it later, but I am sure that I'd ace the test because I'm a stickler for grammar and spelling. I have to admit, I judge people negatively who can't or won't spell and use correct grammar in their native language. It's a sign of a poor education and/or a certain kind of mental laziness in my opinion to not care enough to spell or write proper English even in an informal situation. That "would of" shit that is ubiquitous nowadays in informal written English drives me especially crazy.

Trevor probably should have had a comma after grammar.
