Damn you hyphen

In American english, I don't think the hyphen is necessary. It was the least wrong choice though.

That's because "taciturn" seldom speaks.

20/20 here.

Edit: Incidentally, I believe they said the correct definition of "taciturn" was "quiet".

I disagree. A room can be quiet, but it is NEVER taciturn, nor can it be. "Reserved" would be more correct, imho.

In American english taciturn generally means something more like sulking quietly or uncommunicative rather than simply quiet.

Definitely NOT sulking, ever. Not exactly uncommunicative, either. If you ask a taciturn person a question, they WILL answer.

Reserved is most correct, imho.

19/20. I don't even remember which one I missed. I guess that means I'll fail the memory test.

20/20; the second half was easy. It's those blasted schwa sounds that usually get me but I've been working at 'em and apparently it paid off.

15. My vocabulary sucks but my grammer and spelling are perfect.

 

[TheVrolok]

19/20, one of the spelling questions got me. I'm a terrible speller, I admit it.

21/20 Bonus.
