    You are a MASTER of the English language

    While your English is not exactly perfect, you are still more grammatically correct than just about every American. Still, there is always room for improvement...

    Pretty good, I am half asleep, though I don't know if I would have done any better after some sleep. I don;t think you need to be a God at grammar, master is surely adequate



    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Grammar God. Though I guessed on a couple of them. And really, not many people use whom anymore. Nor is alright wrong, just not proper if you're some stuffy British literature professor.

    My English GCSE was useless though. I picked it all up through reading books (which is why the rest of my class is going to be horrified come the 26th of August).

    What the hell is a modifier?

    Uff That was tough and I didn't do well. But hey, I am a foreigner

    You are a STUDENT of the English language
    You are on your way to becoming gramatically sound; however, you must keepstudying if you ever want to be a master. You do manage to speak better than most Americans, but then again, that's not really saying too much...

    I think I should preserve the English language, just as the site said...

    It was not theirs to make reply,
    It was theirs but to do or die.

    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.

    Strange. I did relatively poorly on the writting SAT II.

    Me is Grammar God
    "And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
    ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
