Are you a nerd?

If you are reading this then you probably are, I know most of you. Can't speak for 2's side but if you are friend/family of 1 then I know you and I know you are in fact a nerd. Sissette - don't deny it, she still sticks her A+ papers on the fridge and she's 32. Lawyerette - come on all lawyers are nerds, sorry Husbandette but it's true. Brette - total nerd. Pants, you think you are not a nerd but you watch NY1 all day and love Scrabble - that's nerdy. I'm a nerd too I guess, I mean I'm not cool and I guess the opposite is nerd so it's fine, let's embrace it. The reason I bring it up is because if you are a nerd like me, you might enjoy taking a grammar quiz. King Nerd Pants showed me this and now I'm obsessed.

Check out this site... there are bunch of grammar tests, the below is the one I've been doing. I think my highest score was a 90%, which is awesome because I suck majorly at grammar and spelling obviously. See if you can do better, report your scores in the comments section. You know you have time for this, you are all nerds so it's not like you have a hot date tonight or anything!
