Ha. I took it. Went into it thinking I had 2 wrong, which is what I got. I blanked on what a prepositional phrase is.

13 out of 14. "Cevqr" turns out to be obgu n pbyyrpgvir naq na nofgenpg abha. Wasn't obvious to me.

I am relieved and pleased that I got 14/14.

I'm having trouble reading, but we scored the same.

Do they speak rot13 where you come from?

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Totally a trick question. (I got that one wrong, too.)

I have sometimes wished my last name started with an X, because then my name would be a ROT-13 *palindrome*!

I had to think about that one for a moment, but once I remembered the two definitions of the word, it was clear for me.

12 out of 14 because of their stupid little tricks. I really hate tests that pretend to look for knowledge but really just want you to be alert for gotchas.

Nothing prevents you from adopting a middle name that starts with X. Heck, your new middle name could even be "Xnerak."

Easy peasy - 14/14.

Same 12/14 here, including the prepositional phrase. Before that, pride stung my pride.

I'm more than a tad surprised that I did as well as that. Not only is it an UK English grammar quiz, I missed out on the final hammering in of grammar lessons in junior high school when they put me into advanced English and we spent the time studying propaganda instead.

14/14, though I had to think twice about the clause questions. Everything else was a doddle.
