I posted it in the other thread, but I feel it would've gotten ignored, being on page 8.

Nice man! That was fun and educational. I got only one wrong, but sometimes I was right for the wrong reason.

I got nine right. Then I again, I'm excellent and checking the grammar of others. It's my own grammar that's pretty terrible... ninja Well, not as bad as someone who uses nothing but chat speak. But not stellar or anything.

Those dog-goned dangling modifyers get me every time. I clocked a 6/10. *sadly slinks away to sulk on the sofa*

I dunno. .. I don't think "Ducks" is supposed to be capitalized, and I had concerns about the requirement of some of the commas. I was taught some comma stuff as aesthetics--like, "well, you can have a comma between these two conjunctions, or a semi colon if you'd prefer. . ."
Then again, I believe my formal education in grammar is sadly lacking!

I only have one qualm with this quiz - it favours American grammar; in British and Commonwealth punctuation, commas may go outside of the quotes depending on the context. Other than that, it's quite good. I got most correct - I disagree with them, as usual. It seems like every test that I take I feel like something ought to be wrong, but it's really just my style getting the better of me. Because I tend to write more formally, I feel that informal sentences are incorrect, despite being grammatically and technically correct. Difficult, ne?

No. In British English this test is still correct; in this particular case, the two systems are the same. That's probably why he chose that example. And I have no idea how having a "formal" style would affect you in this quiz.
