I am truly ashamed of myself!!! Only 67%
Although I admit being fooled into thinking no apostrophe when 'apostrophe ess' was in fact correct on two questions, there was one question in the comma section with which I would argue!!

you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

And the disturbing thing is, the one apostrophe question I got wrong, I only got wrong because I have read different opinions on the use of apostrophes, and followed one that differs slightly from the rules used there.

Please, someone employ me: I clearly have way too much time on my hands!

Due to the heavy use of these forums we would prefer it if you are going to post something then please make sure it is worthwhile and at least 15 characters long. One liner replies such as 'Yes', 'No' or 'I agree' for example, are not necessary and only use up valuable bandwidth. Please use your back button to change your reply or use the link below to go to the forums.
