I can't resist. I had no idea of the meaning of the words in six of the ten questions. Yet my score was 10/10. Luck? No doubt some of that, but statistical analysis would suggest it unlikely that six correct guesses are attributable only to luck. Eschewing false modesty, I would proudly (boastfully?) say that my feel for the English language is so strong that the structure of the question and the nature of the word allowed me to divine the correct answer. more »

  There may be some luck, to which I prefer “chance,” or “the aleatory,” or “the contingent.” Few realize that most of our thinking is unconscious, and that it’s not the brain alone that creates a minded self-aware self. It’s the mind embodied; a brain always aware of the body’s signaling; a body that needs the brain’s calibrations for stability in the face of entropic tremblings and missteps.* (second law of thermodynamics that says all complex system tend Ricard disorder. Homeostasis works against this but eventual the second law triumph as the system of systems slowly fails or fails by a gunshot.) And a minded brain that at its best can produce a complex self-awareness of its own private and public self, requires of the body a sturdy armature to protect the softer, more vulnerable vegetative nurturing, a nutrient supply, waste disposal and the oxygen to fuel the burn that sustains homeostatic poise. And thus we come to how “bodily emotion” (sweating, trembling, bursting with anger, overjoyed by the thrills we encountering adventuring or its evil twin, addiction; the yearning for attachment we feel as cozy and essential with love gained and an empty painfulness
  that can defy words with love lost. These little word tests are to challenge what may find or lack immediate meaning, but nevertheless do not escape some of “the thoughtfulness
  that we do not think about.” I
  just scored a 10 for 10 on intermediate. There was some obscurity that clouded conscious recall but nevertheless, a correct piece fell into place with simply “a drift, maybe even a snowdrift, concealing like a coat, what it hopes to suggest. “ Maybe it was luck. more »

For the quiz, “British English” was the closest language option available for me. The issue I had was when the specific “British English” definition questions were introduced on the advanced level. It is English, but not exactly ‘my’ language; there are definitely regional variations.

There are English words describing uncommon or even obscure phrases and measurements that are not used outside of the UK — or at least not used in US English, I should say. US English also has many that can cause confusion to other English-speakers. Region-specific words, phrases, and definitions are considered “strange” by others — people who speak the “same” language. Because of this, English can basically become a foreign language, even for a native English speakers! Maybe US English is not offered as an option because it has far too many of these variances and would just confuse a half to three-quarters of the English-speaking world!

I did get 10/10 on all three levels, multiple times. Advanced was the only level I missed one on my first time through, due to a specifically British word for a measurement. I had others on this same quiz but was able to get them right, for example:
a custom among some peoples whereby the husband of a pregnant wife is put to bed at the time of bearing the child
I break more difficult words down into word parts to figure them out. This one just didn’t work out…
a British imperial capacity measure (liquid or dry) equal to 4 quarts or 4.545 liters
Your answer: mealie
Correct answer: (You’re on your own!)

I played each level several times to get “comfortable” with the gameplay and the types of words/definitions to expect from each (and just because it’s fun to play!) I’m enjoying the quizzes regardless of the once-in-a-while word I don’t know. It gives me a chance to learn something new. Good luck with your games!! more »

  One is either “very articulate” or they are not. There is no “…tend to be…”. This is like stating “I tend to be tall” or “I tend to be blue-eyed”.
  “Excel” should not be capitalized.
  The last thought is expressed redundantly. “…so I am going to say…” and “…in my opinion.” express the same thought. Pick one and lose the other. Eloquence is inversely proportional to how many words one uses. more »

  I realise this is semantics but since your ability to be articulate can, on occasions, vary depending on specific situations the use of “tend” isn’t wholly incorrect IF in most circumstances you are articulate whereas characteristics such as height and eye colour are generally unchanging in an adult individual and thus exempt.
