You just got ANOTHER ten, chonsi. If there were a railroad to hand I'd put you on it!

I'm always puzzled that some people think the left-hand diagram can't be applied to religions.

I rarely know more than a couple of answers (sometimes not even a couple) so it's quite exciting when I'm waiting for the green ticks or red crosses to show :-6

And I fear I know very little about the Book of Mormon and only slightly more about Hindu Mythology. They're a rum bag some days.

Franklin Pierce apparently is one of those few Presidents who failed to gain his own party's nomination for a second term, despite asking for it.

Is there a way I can take a past quiz? I wanted to take the one yesterday but couldn't figure out how to get registered. DUH!

It's one day at a time. You've just under three weeks to get your eye in before May.

The scorecard gets reset at the start of each month. You can't win April because you missed the first third of the month but you can take a few swings of the racket and warm up ready for the next match. Bookmarking the page helps, too.

8/10 but i thought it was supposed to be history.....was all about musicals and writing :wah:

Post by **spot** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 4:43 am

You're getting good though. If you stick to that score you'll beat everyone.

beowulf · Post by **beowulf** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:17 am

i still guessed on a couple

ZAP · Post by **ZAP** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:25 am

If I'd gone with my first instincts on the 2 I missed I would have scored a ten. I can see it all now, it's all downhill from here.

Corrected to amend that statement which sounded conceited. I meant to say my scores would plummet downward from now on. I must remember to proof read before posting.

beowulf · Post by **beowulf** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 1:48 am

well that trend didnt last.............4/10 today.......didnt understand a word of it :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl...guessed on every one!

I'd like one of those, if you please. Are there any categories like Spelling or

Rock and Roll of the Sixties? :wah:

Trouble with the spelling quiz is would it be American or UK English ? ! :sneaky::wah:

Yes, quite so. That's very humourous. I really need an assist on your phrases. I think a Yank could get into trouble ( big time) by treading into the realm of colloquialisim without proper tutelage. I am trying to learn by watching English movies. At the moment, Major Barbara, based on the play by George Bernard Shaw is playing.

I can't believe the ones I missed! Well, yeah, one I plain didn't know. Apparently there were 3. At least I learned not to try to look things up in the dictionary like I did yesterday & then couldn't find the answers. This thing is timed isn't it? Are there rules?

It is not only colloquialisms, many words are used for different meanings.

Of course right now I can't remember any.......but for instance we wear pants under our trousers, you wear trousers and call them pants.

Oh man! Have I got a lot to learn. I just pulled up a site on British slang and I can't believe how dumb I am. Or how many meanings and phrases there are. Crusty dragon! Eeeeeeewwwwwwww!
