The Commonly Confused Words Test

(Via Amanita).

Advanced

You scored 93% Beginner, 86% Intermediate, 87% Advanced, and 61% Expert!

You have an extremely good understanding of beginner, intermediate, and advanced level commonly confused English words, getting at least 75% of each of these three levels’ questions correct. This is an exceptional score. Remember, these are commonly confused English words, which means most people don’t use them properly. You got an extremely respectable score.

I rule. But I could rule more, evidently.

Good fun, but on the last page of the test it asked me my date of birth and I had to enable ECMAScript to let it populate the select boxes. It seems like a pointless thing when one could achieve the same result by just writing the data into the select boxes when the page is generated.

Interesting idea: create a toolkit for the Web which abstracts the matter of XHTML to higher-level widgets the same way a normal GUI toolkit abstracts drawing windows to widgets like buttons and labels. It could be a fun idea; I may try implementing it later (possibly in XSLT).
