The Commonly Confused Words Test

[resqgeek]

I generally don't do these on-line tests, but I couldn't resist this one, which I saw in suellenr's journal.

The Commonly Confused Words Test


My results:

English Genius

You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 83% Expert!

You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!

...and somebody put up a website to document some of the more interesting cases of words that do get commonly confused.

At this link you'll find a description of the new online "eggcorn" database:
