This quiz is fun! You have to try to guess the 100 most common English words in 5 minutes. I scored a pathetic 39. I wish I hadn't looked at the answers so that I could try again. (Hat tip to Paul Hsieh at NoodleFood and Rational Jenn.)
"I wish I hadn’t looked at the answers so that I could try again."
Exactly my thoughts. I found it interesting that once you stumbled upon a theme (e.g. pronouns) you could get quite a few in a row. I got an even more pathetic 36.
Yes LB, when I found pronouns and conjunctions I thought I was pretty smart and was going to get at least 75 words. (See tonight's post on pride...harhar). I think I got so excited about the few themes I found that I didn't move on fast enough. I also didn't cheat by looking at any paper around my desk or words on my screen. If I had just moved my eyeballs to my right, I would have found a field full of common words on my corkboard.
