Grammar Quiz

I’ve seen this thing in various places the last couple of days, most recently at Jen Speaks, and finally decided to take it. I, too, am a GRAMMAR GOD!

So far, this is the only result I’ve seen, which leads me to believe that

  • The quiz was fairly easy;

  • Only people who are reasonably proficient at grammar would take such a quiz; or
  • Only people who excel at these quizzes post them on their weblogs.

The list is not, of course, mutually exclusive.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

I'm a grammar Goddess, thankyou very much.

(Not that you can tell from my blog....)

As a former book editor, I'd hope that James would be nothing but.

"You are a GRAMMAR GOD!"

But I'm afraid for a couple of them, I had no idea what the rule was, just what sounded (or looked) correct. I have no idea what a misplaced modifier is, for example - and I really don't care.

It's a modifier that's been misplaced ;-)

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I too am a Grammar God, and all because of Public Education. I'm only 23, too! So things can't be THAT bad.
