| Me much english goodly. ResultQuestion 31 is a bit strange, though. Both words are appropriate, so c should be the correct answer - a is just a more specific answer, not a more correct answer. (Although I answered b >.<) Stationary/Stationery got me. I knew the correct definition for stationary, but for some reason stationery didnt feel right for the question. The other one that got me was me/I. Learned something new there. | |

| Damn, I scored lower than everyone else... A bit embarrassing seeing as I'm probably the only one here who is actually English! | |

- A is the only right answer for 31. I fell for that one as well.
I still think it should be c. The answer key gives the definition for "hung" as " v. past tense of hang; to fasten from above with no support from below". That is appropriate for what happens in the execution, its just less specific.

| Does that mean you usually drink before visiting forums lol? Noone is telling which ones they missed. I want to see if they're the same as mine. And Spor I think you can spell. I just think you type too fast and don't proofread your posts before clicking the send button hehe. | |

| I don't see spelling or letter order when I proof read stuff. I can reread something a fair few times and not see an error. Still I am a genius and the proof is on the web. | |

| I drink whenever I don't have to work or drive somewhere. I've normally had a few before I play any game/visit forums unless I'm at work. | |
