Grammar Grade

I found this on Stephanie's blog. I have always been a grammar and spelling natural.
You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct.

It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.

And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.
The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

I will say that I post this with hesitancy. The last time I did such a quiz - which is for FUN - somebody pointed out a flaw they had found in one of my posts. So yes, I have a likely better than average command of grammar but am not perfect! *smile* I do get annoyed when I see people make simple mistakes with the incorrect usage of there, their and they're or to, too and two, but not enough that I lose the meaning of what they're trying to say. I know some people write their posts in Word and check the grammar and spelling before posting, but I can assure you that what you see here is off the cuff, and you will likely find many errors - grammar whiz that I am - if you look hard enough!

I have a bit of a pet peeve about bad spelling and grammar - and while I make mistakes myself occasionally I can hardly resist the urge to correct mistakes when I see others make them. I found this quiz at my friend DeeDee's blog. She is evidently a grammar whiz as well!
