Grammar and punctuation quiz!

I think we all have our moments when we read and see weird grammar and punctuation, but here is a little test if you want to find out how good you are.

No cheating, 14 questions:

I scraped 11 correct with a bit of luck.

It wouldn't be too hard to set up a google doc questionnaire with a time limit to prevent cheating.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told

I think what trips people up on tests like that is the use of large words like prepositional.

I have never understood prepositions, the word means nothing to me.:smileyhappy:

That's a fantastic idea, Stuart. Were you thinking about a couple of pub-quiz type of questions or something else?

We're looking at revamping the weekly highlights, so it might fit well there.

yes i was, i have done a little quiz & just posted it

Here's another one, 25 multi-choice questions and no time limit.

Question 3 is stupid.
