Since there appears to be a large number of people on this board that cannot use bought and brought in the correct fashion and seemingly equal number of grammar Nazis to correct them I thought this little test a friend linked me to might prove interesting :)

As far as I was concerned, I didn't get anything wrong, so quite clearly the quiz is broken.

You did so extremely well, even I can't find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don't. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you're not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

Thank you so much for taking my test. I hope you enjoyed it!
