The number of mispronunciations becomes irritating.
AMEN to that!
Agree 100%; it detracts from the experience plus these quizzes are way too longâŠ
Yep, didnât get past question 2.
Do keep in mind that British and American pronunciations often vary.
Agreed
If people are interested at all in the etymology of words and meanings of prefixes and suffixes, this quiz becomes much easier. THE difference between high scores and low scores has commonality: those who care to have correct verbiage and those who don't.
98/100 Reading novels is a good way to improve one's vocabulary
What? People still read?! (Shocking how many homes have no-zero-books other than a copy of the Christian Bible (or Tanakh, Koran, Baghavad Gita, Tripitaka, Guru Granth Sahib, Tao te Ching, Tattvartha Sutra, etc.) which may or may not be read; plus transient kiddie books if very young children are part of the family. Otherwise⊠reading? Why! TV does it all for you, and you donât even have to be conscious. Or alive. Well, technicallyâŠ
having dementia is a good way to forget pretty much all you've learned. ask me how i know, lol.
My mother had Alzheimerâs dementia, and itâs no joke. If you truly have Alzheimerâs, Iâm sorry. I wouldnât wish it on anyone. The worst part for the person who has it is when they KNOW they canât remember much of anything anymore, and the worst part for loved ones is when they donât know who you are anymore.
I agree. Victorian literature is a great way to learn a lot of interesting words.
But it's NOT a good way to learn to SPEAK.
The pronunciations are still at the WHIM of the reader.
Some of these I cannot imagine how someone would NOT know.
Become an RN, and see for yourself how many illiterate and functionally illiterate people are out there. We had to write teaching materials and instructions for patients at approximately a fourth grade level. Being well read and/or well educated is a priceless gift.
@@megnotes7908 There's a reason why the TV show "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" was popular - the answer, all too often, was "No". But, I agree, SOME of these are words that everyone should know.
If you happen to know Latin or any of the romance languages you will know %50 of those words as simple common words .
95 out of 100. I agree with comments about mispronunciation of words.
Debauch is pronounced "deBAWTCH"
lol - yes, that got to me as well lol
Behoove is a verb, not a noun. The definition should have been worded differently. There were many of these definitions, correct and incorrect, which did not exactly express the meaning of the word, as they represented the wrong part of speech...nouns, verbs, adjectives.... Good quiz, though, as it was really challenging - for once! So many of these so-called difficult quizzes could be answered by an intelligent ten-year-old! I think I scored 98/100.
Speak for yourself
Due to a Boarding School Education this was NOT difficult. Being well read is a boon these days. UBIQUE
Verb tense was a recurring problem. In some cases the definitions used appeared to be (to me, at least) like tertiary choices at best. My gut feeling is you donât want to make a vocabulary quiz harder by making the multiple choice definitions less clear-chose better words if increased difficulty is your goal. And yes, the mispronunciations were amusing if distracting at first but the novelty quickly wore thin. Numbers 79 & 80 (I believe) had the same word on my quiz-but different definitions. Anyone else?
All that said & problems aside it was an effective quiz of a real (as in educated) word-set and itâs nice not to be relegated to the forgotten fringes for a change.
I doubt he came up with the definitions.
I kept looking for a verb, or noun, or adjective when there wasn't one. Good for this fellow for going to so much work though.
100/100. Ironically, the bonus means using polysyllabic words. đŹđ§đ
Kudos for the high scores. I am proud that I got over 50% correct with a score of around 66%. I guess being isolated from people can make a difference and effect one's vocabulary. I'm working on getting out more, but people can be very annoying. I'll put reading more on my to do list.
66% Is not to be sniffed at. It's a fair score.
Your score is fine, and you should be proud. I can only speak for the U.S., but not many people read for pleasure anymore and functional illiteracy is rampant in many states. Be proud of your score, be very proud!
missed seven. i was feeling really proud of myself, until i read all these comments. y'all are bangers! bravo!
Thanks again for sharing
Thanks for playing đđ»
98, but I think one of those words has multiple meanings. So perhaps I should have credit for 99
100% thanks to a superb Scottish education during the 1940s and 50s including 5 years at university. All free at a time when few people had cars or foreign holidays. Priorities have changed.
Me too, but south of the border. đ
That fact that I achieved 94/100 with a Grade 8 Canadian education in the 1940s and 1950s says we don't learn everything in school.
Maybe also made fir an American audience judging by the words candor and clamor
I scored 94 out of 100, but I take exception to several of your definitions; for example "Quixotic" that can mean both oddly intended (like Don Quixote himself) or without commonly recognized purpose, just to name one. Thanks for this quiz: well done!
I thought this also
This is not fair for me because I am French born and a Greek and Latin teacher. That makes right answers easier for me.
Thank you Quiz Class đđ
99/100
đčđ. Thank you very much my dear very best friend, Someone đ§žđ, for my special lovely highlight. Very, very much appreciated. đđ§žđ. Please always be extremely careful and always stay safe and well always đđč
I think I scored 90.
90 out of 100
100% Fairly easy.
97/100. Sesquipedalian = verbose, long-winded.
Excellent quiz. I got 96, and I'm proud of my score. A few of these words were pretty obscure.
Never heard of the bonus word. Misprounciations grated on the ears, but apart from that, not a bad quiz. 95/101
100/100 although I was almost thrown when you asked about "obdurate" twice in a row. I guess you could argue for "stolid" although it means more like having or revealing little emotion. "Obdurate" implies more cussedness and stubbornness rather than mere impassivity. I picked "stolid" simply because it was the least wrong answer.
Sesquipedalian: prone to using excessively long words. Literally, "a foot and a half long."
I did pretty well 88 out of 100đ
Me toođ
Really a great quiz - make me think!
Worked on the quiz late at night! However, I scored 94/100!
86 points, so it well challenged me and I enjoyed it.
Canât believe I made it all the way through. I got 91.
Wauw good job đđ»
93/100. I learned a few things. Excellent test. đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
98/100 My memory is currentlyquite bad so I found this quiz very comforting.
99%. But the word travesty cracks me up. When my son was 2 I served him breakfast one morning. He asked "What's that?" "That," I replied, "in an omelet.." "That's not an omelet. That is a travesty." đđđđ
đ
I never met your son, but he gets my approval for cheekiness!
Only had time for the first ones. 10 out of 10. Though I only got eunoia because I recognized the Greek prefix eu-.
Exactly...I did Latin, and it has stood me in good stead in learning other Indo-European languages.
Same for me (eunoia) , but I figured out many of the words because I speak some romance languages, plus reading a lot since my childhood.
Watching from Ireland
Great fun! Only missed by 23. Not bad đ
Good job đđ»
92/100 - I have clearly been misunderstanding noisome and laconic for several years
Question 67, the wrong definition for clamour was given, it doesn't mean a "loud complaint about something or a demand for something", the word means "a loud and confusing din" for example people shouting all at the same time, an example of which is the noise at a football match.
Itâs a person who likes to use long words. I missed 4. Loved this quiz.Thank you.
Great quiz! I missed 4 of these but was surprised that I got the rest. Thanks for doing this!
80 out of 100, not great, but not too bad.
Did ok for a dyslexic stroke survivor
Wauw we hope your are fine â€ïž
Sesquipedalian: a frequent use of really long words. Got 96/100. Voracious reader.
I missed six. I'll gladly take it! đ
I got approximately 94 out of 100.
Difficult to keep track, though.
93 /100 correct No clue on the bonus question. Not the best but respectable.
I got 80/100. A "B-" if I was still teaching. Not bad, and I enjoyed the quiz!
88/100 two of which I thought had a completely different answer than any of those given as a choice.
Great score đđ»
I am from Finland not academic and I got 10% right.
Wauw đ€©
Well done.
Thanks again
Thank you đđ»
What a coincidence! I was nibbling some feta cheese when "fetter" came up!
98/100
Bonus .. SESQUIPEDALIAN .. It's a long word !!
89 thank you. see yuo soon
My score was 96%.!
Fun - Thanks :O), g
83/100
I enjoyed this, thank you. Did pretty well at 89 correct. Learned some new words. No idea what that bonus word means đ
Sesquipedalian means to use long words. I scored 95%, as I got 95 right and 5 wrong.
97/100 I should have concentrated .. polysyllabic words.
Q.32 I thought travesty is a false representation of something, not a false interprétation..
For example: A travesty of justice.
Why have you put an acute accent on first 'e' in the word interpretation?
98/100 Thanks.
Amazing!
79/100
I answered 94/100 correctly. I think the answer to the bonus question is every 150 years.
Only 95/100. Sequepedalion means one given to the use of long or obscure words, particularly when shorter or more common words are equally suitable.
I did only the first 35 words, I found most of the answers, because I am French and most of these words come from the French language, or are literally French words, or looks and sounds like French words.
i knew 22 of words 41-50 (they matching 30 words to 10 definitions) only missed 5 of first 50.
You should have taken the time to select options matching the part of speech of the possible answer. You cannot, for example, ask for the meaning of a thing and give obvious actions or descriptive words as choices.. Nouns for nouns, verbs for verbs, adjs for adjs. Okay? Anyway, the best of luck in your little endeavour. Suerte!
I got 96 right.
I thought enervate was the complete opposite, turns out I was mixing it up with innervate.
Got 92 out of 100. SesquipedalianâŠâŠ. long words? đ€·đ»ââïž
BTW, it was fun.
89% Quite proud of "meself"! Bonus word? Not a clue, thought it had something to do with thread or hair!!
Bonus question, my first thought was 6/7 legged/footed, but then looking at it more big foot? Suppose I could look it up.
I got two out of thirty right but had to stop there.
69 is wrong. Discomfort = to make uncomfortable. Discomfit = to embarrass.
81 also wrong. Obdurate not equal stolid (also Q81 duplicates Q80)
96/100. Thanks for the work making this quiz.
Got all but 1. Though I admit I got about a half dozen correct by process of elimination.
Well done đđ»
Process of elimination is not cheating. That is mostly how I learn languages. When reading a missing word, in a foreign language text, I often can "guess"by elimination. That is even desired. Next time you'll know.
For the words I wasn't quite sure of, I thought they were pretty easy to guess.
97 out of 100 I missed enervate because I wan't paying attention--byt so be it!
I was today years old when I found that I completely misunderstood "enervate / enervation"
99/100. Not sure, but I think the bonus word has to do with very long words or sentances.
The key to difficulty is to use the same part of speech in the possible. answers as in the key word. doh!
82 correct
Even if one did not know the correct answer it was fairly easy to guess simply by eliminating the wrong answers.
95. Sesquipedalian (ses-quih-ped-AY-lian) means "a foot and a half." It can mean "longer than usual," as in this word. It can also mean something smaller than expected, as referring to the Seven Dwarfs of Snow White fame.
Ya, I got one did you use the dictionary for these first words because I never have heard of the until now though.
I only got 82 out of 100. I guess Iâm not very smart
Good score..dong put yourself down
I got about 90 right. For the record, syzygy is pronounced si-si-gee.
When do we get to the difficult words? 100/100
Yeah, you're right. Working on it!
I lack the patience for this even at x1.5 speed. However extrapolating from the 30 I did do I'd squeeze 95 tops but make the 90 comfortably.
I missed 6 and I don't know what that last word means and too tired to look it up. Thanks for the fun.
98/100
Fun but a bit too long .
What's the word for "ability to adjust playback speed in settings"?
99 - I can't say I've ever come across the word 'redamancy' - and I was lucky with 'sonder' because I could rule out the other two words.
I was disapointed in my score. The first 50 I was better than 90% but fell apart on the last half. 77%. I thought I was smarter than that.đą
You did great đđ»
85/100 and some of those were lucky guesses lol
Good work đ
I was very nearly finished with the quiz, when an ad came on. At the conclusion of the ad, a different quiz started!! I was in the high 90's of the previous quiz. I was anxious to get my score How disappointing . They cut me off from the quiz a bit too soon. grrrr!!!
Easy
85
I'm french. I got 85 by mostly looking for the "sounds like" old french word definition.
I got the first 10 correct and decided to retire on my perfect record. 100 questions is more than I have the patience for. Maybe consider shorter quizzes, say on the order of 30 questions.
I got 92, my bestie got 90.
96//100.
90. No idea about sesquidelian and I take umbrage that I screwed up 10!
