I hear you - the last few had me scratching my head thinking, wow - I have never before heard of that word.

It's a vocabulary test, not a grammar test. But hey, they're just words, right?

Did it quickly to prove I didn't cheat - you can see the tabs up top - as if that is proof, but w/e. It was very close.

Woohoo... I did as well as a professor - and a Canadian!
*happy dance*

edit: sorry @joekerr, I don't know your other credentials. (Also, I just now realized, for the first time, that your nickname may not be a variant of the word Joker, but actually have another meaning... bursting my bubble of supra-genius-ness.)

Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm just an IT flunkie. No PhD in my pocket.

Wifey is a professor and she scored the same as you. We determined it was just one question that I had answered differently. How they decided that missing one question means a difference of 525 words is beyond me.

My ego points for me ... down.
My respect points for you... up.

Heh.

(FWIW: I had assumed you parlayed your geological experience into a professorship. I assumed wrong.)

No, the geo firm where I once worked decided they needed all their PCs and printers networked, so they dumped it on me. I had to learn how to do it, including the CAT5 wiring and router/switch setups. Once I learned how it all worked, I found that I enjoyed doing it and went out and landed an IT job. Never looked back.

No, it is a variant of Joker, but I separate the two on applications that I have no intention of honestly filling out so it looks like a legit name too.

You did as well as an accountant. I'm not so sure that's dance worthy though.

Well done to Mark and you!

[silvergray545]

Oh man, I always sucked at vocab tests. Let's see how awful I can do.

[M_Six]

Fugacious? WTF???

I'm guessing it was one of the last few questions? I suspect as they get harder the "marks" assigned increase exponentially. Which question out of curiosity?

I am not an accountant... maybe you have me confused with ASBSECU E93 (another old white dude) or Biorin (hot mustachioed asian girl)? Either way, I am good. I am an IT weenie - even worse - in SALES.

[kprocivic]

10000 here

Half of those words never seen in my life. Some you fuckers have a rather large vocabulary.

The Fugacious one, I think. But I may have also missed the switch from synonym to antonym on one question, so I'm not exactly sure. But Wifey knew what fugacious meant and I didn't, so we're assuming it was that question.

Even the spellcheck here doesn't recognize fugacious.

Heh... it's related to fugue, which is where our "fog" comes from. That was one I got. Also remember it from years ago when I was playing music - Bach's Toccata and Fugue. I looked it up back in the day. Listen to that song again know that you know the word - you will hear it. I am not sure which I got wrong, to be honest. I just now looked that one up to make sure it was right before I posted.

[ASBSECU E93]

I only do math....the question is moot.

You're in IT, too? Ha! Nerds rule at vocabulary.

[M3 Number 86]

I would HAVE taken the grammar test but fuck it's vocabulary
