May I just say, I am british, where English originated: QUOTE |
You are a STUDENT of the English language!
You are on your way to becoming gramatically sound; however, you must keep studying if you ever want to be a master. You do manage to speak better than most Americans, but then again, that's not really saying too much...

Is this good or bad? If good, then great! If bad, I can speak better English, trust me.
Also, to get the picture, I went back in, selected answers at random and became a GRAMMAR GOD. That's saying something!

1. In the HTML, you'll find the bit (near thes start) saying < img src="http://...." .
2. Take the bit in the speech marks and copy it.
3. Delete the entire < img bit to the > and place the cursor at the start of the post.
4. In the reply/post page, click the IMG button and paste the URL into the dialog.
5. Click OK, and there it is!

I, unwittingly, retook the test. I couldn't remember posting before and didn't check to see if I was already there, so I took it anyway. I have improved since leaving university, achieving a QUOTE (website) | You are a GRAMMAR GOD!

Stumbled upon this and having not previously taken the test gave it a go. As for my result, all I can say is "Ditto".
