You are a GRAMMAR GOD!
If your mission in life is not already to preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!
How grammatically sound are you?

In all honesty, I was a bit surprised — while I’m generally fairly sure of my ability to use the English language, some of the quiz questions actually had me debating and choosing whichever one “felt right”. Apparently my instincts haven’t gotten too terribly sloppy yet after all!

Makes one think, doesn’t it. It was quite fun. A bunch-o tricky phrases.

I don’t mind links at all, as long as they’re not spam links, which i’ve never seen from you, so no worries.

i got grammar god as well - but i really wasn’t sure about some of the trickier questions… guess i’m pretty grammatically intuitive too!

Whew! I too am a grammar god. I was worried when I saw the quiz, of course, that I might be in the wrong profession. I now feel justified in pointing out misplaced modifiers to my students, although I should add that the question about misplaced modifiers on the quiz is incorrect. The error in the sentence is actually a dangling modifier.

Was it the one with “only”? That’s what I’d selected (I’m a grammar diety too, apparently!)

Alas, not a spelling one.
