Fallen subjunctive made me giggle.

Mercifully managed the full house.

What I will say is the fact the vast majority of people will get 3-7 out of ten demonstrates grammar is one small feature of language and that communication is what really matters.

A pretty dismal 4/10. My daughter did the new grammar S.A.T.S test yesterday, I hope she's better than me!

Bugger.

6/10 here, and a bit embarrassing, I'd never even heard of dangling participle whatsits, thought that was an Omaha term.

I got 6 too. Some of the questions felt a bit ridiculous and not really necessary to know.

I got 8 but there were two lucky guesses included in that, so 6 really.
