CoolCat, do I need to take a spanish test to give you something to compare to?

Do I need to tell you the story of the time I asked two high school friends, who were speaking spanish to each other to "hables englesia" instead of "hables engles" ("speak church" instead of "speak english")

English is a difficult language, with many rules that do not always apply. For instance, "Brian's" means "belonging to brian", but "it's" does not mean "belonging to it", it means "it is".

Don't sweat it. You did fine.

You think this would be reaffirming but it kills me that I scored under 90% on Advanced and Expert!

That was a cool test, but I really screwed up the Expert part.

You're close.

A short story is an anecdote (right word, wrong spelling)

As for the second sentence, "write" is to put words on paper. "right" means either "correct" or refers to the side of your body that is not the left ("derecha"?). So, I think you meant to say "That's right, right?" or "is that correct?".

always glad to help. feel free to PM me if you have any questions...

Well, I had to go back and try again to see if the site would behave this time -- and it did.

Good luck; it's challenging to say the least.

Regarding the test, I am not quite sure how I got 93% Beginner, when I answered all of the questions correctly, according to the explanation page.

Shoot. I'm glad it was not a test on reading and retaining instructions. I forgot to cut and paste. I was advanced. If I remember correctly, I was 100% beginner; ??? ; 93% advanced and 66 or 65% expert This cracks me up since I find it difficult to type a simple post
