Tests of English -- Did you pass?

Post by Maria »

Here is a basic English test that many will not pass today because of the increasing use of texting.

Can you pass this one?

And, yes, being a linquist, I scored a perfect 10.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

So did I. It was very easy. But how many people one sees online or in any written note who commonly confuse "their" with "they're" or "there".

Few people get the kind of education anymore which would teach them thoroughly how to use each form correctly.
This lack of careful and thoughtful schooling shows with such primitive mistakes as those in the quiz.
