It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.

    Can you please provide us with a link? I’d love to take that test and learn about my english age. Maybe it’s like dog-years.

        I got a 22688. Top 5.5% equal to… Lol White collars… Then why am I a blue collar bitch?

          21470, top 7.55% Guess that’s satisfactory. But I’d still prefer to know my virtual age. And not the colour of my collar. 😉

            Whew. Top 0.1%!

            Now… Where do I put this skill to good use?

                not the guy you asked, but also .01%. I read. a lot. and I pretty much always have. mostly science fiction and fantasy, but I pick up the occasional nonfiction.

                books were always around the house when I was a kid, and we went to the library a lot. my grandma taught me to read before I started school, so that’s about 40 years of exposure.

                so nearly everything on that test, I’ve encountered in context and at least have a fuzzy idea what it could mean.

                  I find it funny that you’re so literate in English but not so conscientious in math/stats matters. Are you top 0.1% or top 0.01% of English speakers? :P

                  (Only joking! This isn’t intended to insult you at all)

              Wow, what’s your history? I got top 0.12% from being a pedantic kid studying SAT vocabulary since middle school (and from being a native English speaker who also learned Spanish and French to intermediate high school American standards).

                Part of a Ba in Phil. I spent most of my life as a manual labourer and then fell into unix/linux sysadmin. But I read like it is oxygen.

        Got 29610 or top 0.2% apparently. I don’t consider myself to be wide-read nor learned. Also, I mostly guessed my way on the tougher items.

        Not a native English speaker at that. I just live in a country where a lot of the post-primary schooling is done in English.
