The "speeding in your car is risky/risque" is a matter of opinion. It may or may not be risque depending on your opinions about speeding. Other times I felt like this but that's one of the few I remember now.
Also, some people may be made sick by navel travel; your sexual preference may vary. This is clearly targeted towards straight men.
Finally, I like how it tells you you need to be 18 at the end of the test...I mean, I just lied, but whatever.

This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don't use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score. |

I think we all know that I can type and converse a little more accurately than a stupid test tells me I can.
I honestly think that the think is....rigged, or the person who made it has some serious grammatical problems, along with spelling.

ya, I agree with Reyde. You must've been confused about something. Or really not paying attention. Stuff like you're VS your, their VS there, etc...I don't see you getting that wrong that much, and that's pretty much what the test is based on.

Well, first off, what's your work ethic like? And of course, grammar as it's taught today doesn't have that much to do with good writing (though stuff is graded like it is).
EDIT-A good question is the who/whomever question, which is about such a useless rule in the first place...

I did the test, but I don't have results because I'm not fucking registering just for this. <_<

Considering the general speaking/typing skills of the 2 or 3 AIs I've chatted with in the past, I'm surprised a robot could do so well.
