I'm a Grammar Guru. 94%
I'd tell you which 2 questions I answered incorrectly but then I may give hints. I don't want people to go buff up on the hard ones first!

I'm surprised I got 91% with hardly any sleep and with a munchin and beasts climbing on me. Haha, go me!
81%
I confused e.g./i.e. and lay/lie.. Also bored by. Bored by sounds horrible to me, so I suppose that's why I got it wrong.

I'm adding pics, because anyone that's been in my room won't likely believe me. Well, they'll probably buy that I can have better grammar than spelling, but still. If you are a grammar/spelling nazi beware of my room!

We could of/have used this in the through/threw/thru thread :lol:
Oh yeah, I got 88%. I got tripped up on a few tricky ones, mostly because I am an Office Max customer and the grammar there/they're/their is different. Also, I am having a bad mousing day The rest of my excuses will have to wait until I get my new mouse from/of/by Staples :mrgreen:

Those were my two downfalls. Whom is not a word I use often, and bored of/with/by? No clue.LuckySmiles said:
97%. I reallllly didn't expect that. Some of them were really easy, but with quite a few of them I didn't know the rule as to why one answer was right and the other wrong. I just knew that it sounded right in my head.

There was one where I could swear I put the other answer, and then when I clicked it said the one I didn't choose, and I got that one wrong... I'm thinking it was the first time they switched the order of the choices, but I honestly don't remember which one it actually was. Wait, yes I do, it was years' vs year's, and it said I put years' for both. But I swear I put year's on one of them!
Other than that, I mixed up ie and eg, and there was one other I fucked up because I wasn't paying enough attention, though no one has mentioned it yet, so I forget what it was x.x.

It was more a test of vocabulary than grammar, for the most part. "Their" and "there" are different words. Either you know the difference, or you don't. I thought it would be harder, although I did get the 'bored with' one in the last set wrong.
The first thing I thought, however, was that "Do you have a grasp of grammar?" would have been a more elegantly phrased question.

Exactly. They mean different things. That's why it's beyond me how people can mix them up. Same with your/you're. Just think about what you're trying to say for 0.25 seconds, and you know which one to use.Sevrin said:
I make tense, word order and vocabulary mistakes all the time in my written English, but I'm pretty sure I've never misspelled their/they're/there/your/you're in my life.
(It's the same with the German words 'das' and 'dass' by the way. People misspell 'dass' all the time and write 'das' instead.
Das is a definite article ('the'), while dass is a conjunction, meaning 'that', as in 'He knew that it was possible.'
Two completely different things. :| )
