Aspie Quiz Has Grammatical Errors!

Post Reply New Topic

I was taking an aspie quiz, and I found myself highly irritated by the several grammatical errors in the questions... It kept distracting me and I almost quit the quiz.... I have a pretty big issue with grammatical or spelling errors. It's one of those things where if I see an error in a book or test, I have to get a pen and correct it.

I think I remember taking notice of how erroneous the grammatical sentences were as well, and as a loyal pedant myself (hence the username) I found it surprising how I was able to neglect them all the way through the online assessment. Pedantry is an intensified trait amongst a fair proportion of aspies.

If a test or website contains spelling or grammatical errors I can not take it seriously. I find it highly unprofessional.

Last time I checked, it was "Grammatical", not "Gramatical"... (Unless you are selectively communicating in Galisian, Portuguese or Spanish)

Furthermore...

Your post contained the following sentence: "I was taking an aspie quiz, and I found myself highly irritated by the several grammatical errors in the questions... It kept distracting me and I almost quit the quiz...."

Did the quiz, errors or questions distract you? If it was anything but the former, should it not be "they kept distracting me", as you presented both errors and questions as plurals? I believe a proper application of grammatical number is in order...

*Just trolling*

^ Touche!

How ironic. Your title is "Aspie Quiz Has Gramatical Errors!"

Correct spelling is double 'm' i.e "grammatical".

Let he who is without fault and all that.

Thank you for bringing the error to my attention.

that's a spelling error/typo, not a grammatical error.

Who said it was?
