      I agree, at 86 I got them all correct but defining them is another matter. Is it a test meant for people just learning English or for native speakers? Perhaps being schooled in Scotland in the 1940s and 50s helped, Mostly books to entertain us and fewer distractions. I found the background music too loud and that was a distraction.I try to do 2 of these every day but dislike the American origin tests.

    I am 78 years old and left school at the age of 15 after a very skimpy education. On the test I got only one word wrong, which is reasonable. If, however, English is not your mother tongue and you got them all right, you did very well. Reading is the key. I disagree with one definition-laconic-which means a person of few words, not a person of few words who makes every word count. It's possible to be laconic and speak absolute nonsense at the same time.

      There were some words that could , be construed or misconstrued, all and all, yes multiple choice does make it a little easier, but you still have have to have a fundamental understanding, I’m not in the triple digit IQ crowed , but my vocab was at the 97th percentile, I got about 2 wrong , one I was totally unaware of the meaning in a sentence, last as being interested in words since high school , I do question some of the I got 30/30 and never made it out of the third grade, folks out there , but not much benefit to lie on a UA-cam vocab test .

      I don't use most of them in conversation, but I regret that. The fault is mine. I know them, but they just don't come to mind at the proper time. I suppose it depends on the person you're talking to. You automatically adjust your level to that of the person with whom you're speaking.

I think the 92% is probably correct, considering that most of the words are not used in everyday communications and kids today just don't read books ...they wait for the movie, lol. The only reason I knew the words is bc I basically read voraciously all my life, even encyclopedias.

The infantilisation of our language , the misuse of it nowadays and the infantilisation of our society has contributed to a monosyllabic language sprinkled with the f word and others besides.

    A fairly run-of-the-mill vocabulary test, made a good deal simpler (for those trying to guess the right answer) by the choice of incorrect suggestions. I would challenge some of your definitions - e.g. your definition of "flout", which doesn't quite mean what you say it does. The word has more of an overtone of deliberately disruptive behaviour, with a definite intent to shock or annoy. It's a contextual thing. Also, you have (regrettably) followed the current fad which mistakenly assumes that "disinterest" means "lack of interest", when in fact it means "impartiality" - which is by no means the same thing. "Disinterested" may sound more educated than "uninterested", but the two words are not interchangeable, and both mean something specific, especially where legal points arise, or motives are being questioned.

    I throughly enjoyed this test and I also read Enid Blyton , Judy Bolton , also the Nancy Drew series …. We had no TV so we were voracious readers and it certainly paid off in our English class….

    Yes, I'm 75, never went to college and tested out at only one wrong. I couldn't believe this was a real result of only 8% passing, it was so darn easy. I read a lot. It made me feel accomplished instead of lost, while learning a new portal thingy that my accountant is using this year for my taxes. UGH.

  • @frenchgrama
    @frenchgrama 13 днів тому +1

    29/30 - If only 8% of people can pass this test it must mean that English speaking people under 30 years of age might be doing this quiz - in a lot of first world countries English literacy is appalling. I live in Australia and I'm constantly picking up incorrect spelling and incorrect use of words and phrases by journalists who write for newspapers. If you are in your 40's there is a chance that you had a half decent education and anyone over 60 had, by default, a fantastic fundamental education in literacy, numeracy and history! There is a LOT to recommended learning the three 'R's' inside out.

    28 out of 30. I tried being a public speaker and a writer but nobody knew what I was talking about. I even got punched once for acting smart. A teacher even gave me the strap three times on each palm. My older brother beat me up and my grade 9 English teacher accused my mother of writing my essays. I started reading when I was three.
