If you know me at all, you know that I get irritated when I encounter nonsense about excellent grammar. This quiz is utter bollocks. Some of it only pertains to punctuation or spelling and has nothing to do with grammar at all. I deliberately got three questions wrong by giving proud and stubborn answers that reflect how native speakers of English *actually* speak. Quizzes like this only perpetuate the myth that nonstandard speech varieties are inferior to the standard, which keeps classist power structures in place and maintains the gap between rich and poor. Leave your language alone!
