prawnd it. 10 right :angel:
Anyone who can't get 10 out of 10 on that one is one of the people I would prefer to move into the "shoot in the face immediately" catagory. Unless of course it's Scarlett Johannson or similair, in which case, I'd turn them into a personal sex slave. :rolleyes:
I actually had to think about number 10.. for 2 seconds

I sometimes say it wrong because (it's) a game and (there) is always a need to spell quickly while ignoring the grammar rules.

The title of the thread didn't clue you in on my opinion of this quiz?
All 10 done right.
And i'm not even english. :lol:
heh, to me it's not the lack of grammar I dislike. It's the way that people have an attitude along the lines of "oh ths iz only a computer l33th4x so i dnt hav 2 typ proporly cuz u suk". What's so fucking hard about spending an extra 2 milliseconds typing the full word 'you', 'this', 'dont', typing 'the' correctly instead of the retarded 'teh', etc. Why can't they press shift for a millisecond while they type 'i' either? :o

These students have a poor attendance record. I'm worried about their being absent during next week's exams.

Yeah, Twok, that was poorly worded but maybe that was to force people to think a bit harder on the quiz.

It's just that there are a lot of people from non english speaking regions of the world. Their english has to be excused. They're at least trying.

No, Max, what's aggravating is that my own countrymen are fucking up so damn badly in far too many matters, English grammar and spelling among them!
Funny how everyone's watching their spelling now :p

and pisa said im stupid. :rolleyes:
My spelling is bad, cant help it -
I can spell large words, i just get mixed up with small words -
I have to think, sometimes for a good few seconds when typing know / now
Over/other
etc
When I type my brain either lags behind my instinctively speedy typing or I start thinking of something else due to me usually not looking at the screen and resultingly type the wrong thing instead. Yesterday I wrote 'date' instead of 'death', because I was looking at my clock and thinking "fuckin' 'ell, only a few days till Christmas" while I wrote my post in that implant scaling thread. Love brainfarts, but ty Nidhogg for editing it for me. :lol: Being unable to fix typos is bloody annoying. :mad:
Spelling is easy though if you know the basics of how the language is spoken and how those sounds are translated into letters in that language (something we all should know in our native languages - but I guess clearly that's not the case for most people nowadays; too busy wanting to drink 20 pints in a few hours everyday no doubt :rolleyes:).
In English it's quite easy to spell a word correctly just from thinking about how you pronounce it. Of course, it's not always the answer, because some people simply say words incorrectly to begin with. Take the word pronounce for example; My old German teacher would pronounce it as "prenounce" which is clearly wrong. :p
I have sever problems, similar to some forms of Dyslexia (Never taken the test myself, but my Dad, and granddad have forms of this).
I have problems with short words, also, even when writing or typing..
i could be copying something, or even writing my adress, and id so things like
England,
Id be writing it as, Egnland, like by brain wants to write the G first.... strange meh
I have the same sort of thing. I think that's because I've spent so much time typing, and I barely write on paper unless it's my name to sign something or a quick note. So when I'm writing with a pen, I'm already thinking several words ahead as I would when I'm using a keyboard, and my hand won't write that fast. :D
Edit so I don't double post :rolleyes:: Just thought about some random programme on Sky One (or Two) that I watched the other day called Space: The Ultimate Holiday, and it briefly mentioned that Astronauts would carry on thinking they were in a zero gravity environment after they came back to Earth and would carry on their space habits like just letting go of an object without putting it down thinking it would just stay there. I think that's the same sort of problem I have after hardly writing much on paper in the last 4 years.

Sometimes when I am typing a research paper or essay, my brain starts to get a form of writing block. I forget basic 5-7 letter words and have to think it up. It usually helps to just try not to take on too many task at once and to regularly read and use more complex words instead of always using the generic form.
...Astronauts would carry on thinking they were in a zero gravity environment after they came back to Earth and would carry on their space habits like just letting go of an object without putting it down thinking it would just stay there...
Yeah. I have that problem with a few things. Let me list a few:
Switching games and the mechanics are different, the hotkeys a bit different, and the atmosphere takes adjusting
Playing on the NC test server, then the live server
Hunting at the same place for hours and hours (6+) then going and pvping
Picking up smoking/drinking, even since it has been 3 years since I was really active with that shit I still hold a bottle like a drunk and hold a pencil/pen like it's a smoke.
HABITS ARE A BAD THINGS, UNLESS IT LEADS TO NOTHING BUT POSITIVE.
Edit: Unreal, I am no one to say this but, I am even trying to limit paragraph's to 2-3 sentences for easy reading and so it doesn't look like a unorganized book style with LARGE pages and only 2-3 paragraphs per page. (Run-on sentences count as 2 sentences)

People who have been stationed on nuclear subs for months at a time aren't allowed to drive for a few days once they get back on land. Living in a confined space where the furthest they ever see is just a few metres away, they struggle with depth perception for a short while afterwards.

Also, all that masturbation that they must be doing will damage their eyes.

Why would it effect their eyes?

Hehe, when I'm eating out and paying with my card and I have to write my name on that receipt - I can't do it. If I try to write my last name I always have to stop and think on the spelling which is annoying and if I'm in a hurry I mispell it and if I'm not in a hurry I mispell it anyway. Not sure if it's dyslexia or if I'm generally retarded :p
So everytime I write my name, I write "Robert " and then gibberish because I'm sure they don't care anyway :P
