Oh, yeah! I'm glad to see paying all that money for an English degree didn't go to waste! 😂 Quiz: http://thedailypolls.com/can-you-get-a-2525-on-this-advanced-grammar-test/

LauraBrook Awesome! I got 25/25 too!! Makes me think I actually can be a freelance editor. (I have a BA in English, with an emphasis on editing and writing, and I was planning on going to grad school straight away. 17 years later and still no grad school in sight! 😂) 7y
cariashley I just shocked myself by getting 25/25 too, and I was unsure about a bunch of them! Hope it's not rigged 😜 I guess history majors learn grammar too?? 7y
TheWordJar Thank goodness I got a 25/25 because I am a freelance editor! But if grammar isn't your day job, there are plenty of grammar guides out there to help! 7y

kspenmoll I also scored 25/25. Maybe it's all that reading! 7y
niftytiffd I am also an English major! I also scored 25/25! :) 7y
NovelGirl82 Me too! It's a good thing, considering I proofread! 7y
jmtrivera I got a 25/25 too! Maybe I should have gotten that English degree after all! 7y
asiriusreader Me too, me too! Love being a grammar nerd! 7y
elkeOriginal I love how they made it sound rare, but on Litsy getting 25/25 is pretty normal! Me too!😉 @LauraBrook @cariashley @TheWordJar @KVanRead @kspenmoll @niftytiffd @NovelGirl82 @jmtrivera @asiriusreader 7y

Yep, this sign exists because this town exists. The Amish have some interesting tendencies here in Pennsylvania. By the way, even after my first time, there's still not much to see when passing through town. 😎 #LitsyHumor

UnabridgedTomes Well, as long as everything is pure and unspoiled.... 7y
britt_brooke Even after your first time .... 😂😂😂👏🏻 7y
Theresa It's not far from Blue Ball & Intercourse. You think I kid, but I don't. 7y

The phrase "linguistic architecture" is so cool. From now on, when my students write essays, I'm going to call them linguistic architects.

hermyknee I love that! 7y
