    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.

    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!!

    5. an undivided or unbroken completeness or totality with nothing wanting
    Your answer: tranquillity
    Correct answer: integrity
    a person can be doing wrong all day and be tranquil comfortable with what they are doing. on the other hand some one with integrity..may feel very uncomfortable, going against the masses. in the end integrity will always have tranquility but all tranquil may not achieve integrity.

      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.

      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. Just my thoughts on the subject

      O.K. Fair point. If I were writing about such a situation, however, I don’t think that “tend” would be my first choice of adverb. I think “usually” or “normally” better describes articulation that has been impaired by some extraordinary influence.

      You are absolutely correct. Typo on my part. Don't know how I could have transposed an "a" for an "i" as they are not near each other & I did not proofread what I wrote. The keyboard ON my laptop is dead, more or less, so I have a separate keyboard plugged in and am not always facing the monitor when I type. Thanks for the correction.

    This something which should be embraced by every school system & teacher in ALL of America, regardless of taxonomy , socioeconomic background, or age level. The beauty of this is being able to taylor it to any age level or occasion & like anything newly started, it can always be improved upon...the hardest part is just giving it a try...critics & detractors are never hard to find! I am not an English teacher, but for nearly 50 years of teaching on the high school, vocational, and college levels, I have stressed the importance of speaking succinctly & expeditiously as possible...it may be the difference between landing the job or position one is striving for or working for a "nickel ninety-eight" in a job you HATE.
