    64…I’m quite proud of that! Kicked myself when I realised the obvious ones I had missed though…

    62 also. I was a little surprised that with words like will,would, could, what, which when etc there was no room for please. :(

    My thoughts exactly.

    I was also surprised that ‘No’ was in there but ‘Yes’ wasn’t. Obviously written by a married woman :wink:

    My score btw, a rather unsatisfactory 54.

    Rather embarrassingly I had another go… and another… and only managed a top score of 58

    Some other jolly trivial pursuits on the site, particularly the geographical ones which are more my forte. States of America – simple; it’s conjunctions, adverbs and pronouns I can’t remember

    my score just reinforces my belief that I exist purely for the purpose of making everyone else in the world feel better about themselves…I am functioning within the parameters of my mediocrity…..sigh

    I was slightly proud to announce my
    diminutive score, however
    after several drinks tonight
    and possibly a more stressful evening
    than the evening when I took the teat
    I probably would have preferred a teat
    – a test rather
    ( I would have told you anyway )

    Having done fairly well on the top words list I have to admit to having become hopelessly addicted to the other ‘quizzes’ on offer – the countries one is particularly troublesome.

    Yeah the site is addictive – the Simpsons quiz is good

    I noticed they don’t have Rand McNally in the countries list! :wink:

    My hubby and I made the mistake years ago of buying a Rand McNally World Atlas. World Atlas my a*se! There were about 100 pages, 90 of which covered the good ol’ US of A, the other 10 being reserved for all the unimportant countries :roll:
