Fun vocabulary-related test here. Here’s my score with the word I didn’t know. I was 60% sure “marchese” was a word and I even had a good inkling of its definition, but you’re penalized for guessing that something is a word and then getting it wrong, so I didn’t risk it.
Also, my brain is kind of mushy tonight from studying other things so there’s that. (Nope, didn’t cheat at all, though it’d be easy if you wanted to. If I’d wanted to cheat, it wouldn’t have taken me 9.24 seconds to deliberate on that one!)
Nice! I like these kind of tests, they help me discover new words. I scored 78% on this one (I said yes to a nonword). I didn’t know that marchese was included in the english vocabulary 😀
I’m a word collector, too, so that’s mainly why I like tests like that. And it’s one of the few areas I’m good at so they are fun for me.
Now if we’d take logic puzzles tests or math-related ones, we’d all see what a true moron I really am….
