You know you sound bad when the sub caller hears your three attempts to say, "Hello," and then says, "You don't want to work today." It wasn't a matter of want, more a matter of ability. Ah well, I guess I was due.
So, today I'm giving you: Can You Correctly Use These Commonly Misused Words?

How did you do?
Edited to add: Thanks for all the well-wishes. I'm all better now. I write all these posts a week in advance, so the cold in question hit me on Thursday of last week. Sorry for the confusion.
"Good grammar is sexy." I like that! I'll have to take the quiz later. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it should be!
DeleteCute quiz! I got them all right :) Affect/effect was something that took me a long time to get the difference with :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better!!
betty
Yeah, I still have affect/effect issues, too. But I think it's finally sinking in.
DeleteI actually write my posts a week in advance, so the cold in question is mostly gone. Thanks for the well wishes.
Sorry you feel crappy. Hope you feel better in time for Easter.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do too bad. Seriously, get well soon. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm a Grammar Master!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon.
Congrats. And thanks.
DeleteHappily I mastered them all. Good quiz! I shall have my grandkids take the test!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear how they do.
DeleteThis country hick is a Grammar Master! Whoop! Whoop!
ReplyDeleteHick? I doubt you're a hick.
DeleteI was perfect!
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
DeleteWow, I actually got perfect. I guess the info in all those "easily confused words" posts I do finally sunk in.
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not well. Get better soon.
I am glad you are feeling better. These colds are nasty. I can't believe it but I got Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGot them, woohoo. Glad you're well now. Need all the strength and energy for this challenge.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
DeleteA+ for me! Glad you're feeling better. Good luck with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
DeleteWhew! I got an A+, as well. It was touch and go.
ReplyDeleteGood choice for C.
Thanks. I found this quiz a couple weeks ago, so I was glad to be able to use it.
DeleteA+ thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we're all in good company.
DeleteI also got an A+. Hope you are feeling better by the time you read this.
ReplyDeleteI got them all! Proud to be a grammar nerd.
ReplyDeletePhew A+ for me as well! Although I did type to instead of too in my comments today, typing is different to knowing though I find!
ReplyDeleteIt seems to change with age, years ago in work I never needed to check through my work (I did obviously but it was nearly always 100% okay), these days I find I have to constantly check and my typing is nearly always 100% not okay...
Hope you're feeling better now and good luck with the rest of the challenge.

I find I make those mistakes too, but I consider those typos. If we took the time to check our work, we'd catch most of them, I wager.
DeleteIt didn't load for me. Perhaps that is a blessing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, weird. Sorry it didn't work. Technical glitches, I'm sure.
