Not only do you know your subjects from your objects and your definite from your indefinite articles, but you've got quite a handle on the literature and the history of the language as well. Huzzah, and well done! The English snobs of Boston salute you.

??? Grr... I tried to link to it, but I got a WAY WRONG link. *is so NOT a jock!*

Whatever - I got a 79. *gives linky-thing an eeeevil glare*

Ah well. If I can figure out how to link this to my flist, I think I'll let them bust their brains on it. XD

I got the LJ link by scrolling waaaay down, then clicking the pencil icon (the default is Myspace link style). Didn't try the other links. :D

Yeah, I figured it out eventually. But the original link I posted gave me a 0 score! ^_^;;;

84. I wonder if I got or lost points for thinking the New Yorker is pretentious? :)

82, and I was wondering about that myself.

Got, I'd suspect. I'm at 79.

Heh. Seems to be a popular score. I also think that the New Yorker is pretentious, and I don't think much of "Prufrock," either - although it is a fabulous earworm (I can quote lots of bits of it).

95.

Maybe I should reconsider a career in science.

heh, i got a 76, too. the best part is that i had to guess on a lot of it. :P

Whoot! I scored 84% even though I just lucky guessed a few of the questions. Finally, my BA in English is worth something. Bwahahahahaha!

79, despite guessing on a few of them. Wonder how much I gained/lost for going with "macho" as a description of Hemingway's prose. (Figured "laconic" was probably the more common answer.)
