How long ago was that? My last English class was in 1952 in college. I had some really good teachers in high school and college. Many people argue with me about my grammar and now I will force this thing on them.

But you aren't a prog so you learned well in school. I bet not one of them take a try at this.

My last one was in 88 in college, but I waited a few years before I went to college. Wanted to be a teacher, but ended up going into marketing and communications. Tell u what tho. I went to college at University of Iowa. Sure isn't the same college I went to.

Perfect score!! No doubt about it, there isn't a grammar mistake in the world that could slip past your nose. You snuff out bad grammar and spelling mistakes like it's your last day on earth! You have a love for English and grammar! You LOVE a perfectly structured sentence and discovering out of place commas! No doubt about it, you know how to write properly

Not that it tells in here with my typos and what this dang spellchecker does.....

OMG I did it too ! Don't know how ? Got to be something wrong or a glitch in the system; the best I ever got in English was a c+ to finish out 12th to graduate in 67 an that was after skipping out of most of my class's that year. WOW

Although to be truthful ; I did have to take the test twice to graduate school.Teacher thought I had cheated the first time,an no I didn't.

Agree. Nothing hard about simple English. I will have to say, when you are properly motivated, no school subject is hard.
I learned this stuff in Elementary school in the 1940's. Are there too many twos to comprehend? Maybe not.
