Re: How smart are you?
Another apple for teacher.
Question 20 is wrong, by the way. It lacks an apostrophe and a full stop. |
Re: How smart are you?
Ah, must be something about the swots being earlybirds. (20/20 here too).

Re: How smart are you?
Thank goodness - thought it was a news quiz! 20/20 for me too. I noticed the lack of apostrophe and period too, but there wasn't an option for that.
BTW, is good spelling an inherited trait? Of my two boys, one spells well easily; the other struggles with the simplest words. Same background, schools, etc. Very strange. |

Re: How smart are you?
I didn't get the long-lost brother hyphen. Mind you, if the words hadn't been on separate lines I probably would have noticed it, however, I decided to be honest!!
