The (Rescheduled) Commonly Confused Words Test

Update, 20 Mar: The site is still down, so we'll delay this assignment until I can find a replacement.

Update, 21 Mar: I fixed the problem with the link. You already have important assignments due on the 23rd and the 30th, so I've rescheduled this for April 1.

Take The Commonly Confused Words Test (40 questions).

Print out and submit the page that shows your results. We'll go over each question in class.

We're doing this to start a discussion -- you won't be graded on how many you get right. In fact you're welcome to consult any source while you take it (so long as you fess up). You're welcome to blog about this, if you like.

I tried to take the test and the site didn't load. Instead, a message saying something about "finding a bug" came up.

I got the same message Vanessa did.

Well, that's life in cyberspace.

Don't worry about it, then. Just focus on the handouts I gave you last week.

You know what? It's not the site that's done... the link to this test from your blog still works:

Just wanted to provide a manual link to my results, since I didn't feel like making trackback text in my entry.
