How's your grammar?

22 ... not bad.

20. I missed probably the easiest question on the whole quiz because I wasn't paying attention.

By the way, the poster who said poor grammar never really affected his career should probably have someone else proofread his resume and cover letters when applying for jobs.

I'll be the jerk that posts. I got 21 right. They definitely make you look at sentence structure. Should have been more careful on the one I missed.

I must have been raised right as a child, because I just go with what 'sounds' right. And I got 20/22. And I disagree with one of those :laugh:

If I remember the statement in question (and I might not) I think the focus was whether the noun was singular or possessive. In that case, Romney doesn't matter. Just ignore him.
