Followed alisanne to this really interesting test - yeah, well, I'm a reluctant linguist, what can I say - and got a very pretty result ( Read more... )

Go you! :D

My own score is 29,300, and while I'm not native either, I do have an MBA in English, so I would have had to be ashamed of myself if my score wasn't at least averagely native...

Oh, but I am above average for native speakers my age!

*joins you in feeling disgustingly proud* :)

There's an average? *blinks* And I missed it? Darn. Must go back and have another look. Ai heartz statistics. ;D

You're not a native speaker, either? Huh, I wouldn't have known ... double congrats to you! :)

Thanks for the test! Was great to do! So many words still to learn!

*feels shyly proud with you*

although my score was slightly lower than both of yours 28,750 #_#

And I'm no native speaker. English isn't even my second language...it's my third, although I'm much better in English than my second language now *headdesk*

Well, ok... *feels disgustingly proud with you* :D

Yeah, there are some really cool words, aren't there? I went back to write all of those down I didn't know ... *is a total geek*

English's your third language? Wow. If I were forced to communicate in my third language ... uh. Well, I can still say Moi, je ne parle pas le francais très bien, so that should help. :D

*grins* There were sooooo many cool words! Thanks for posting!

Well, I use English so much and my second language so little, that I have a much larger vocabulary in English than in German (which I could speak as a toddler but don't so much any more). See, you have third language too and probably a fourth as well? *grins* Languages are FUN! *bounce*

I grinned at your geekness. If you post them with definitions, I'll probably take notes ^_^ *waggles eyebrows*

Um, well, I can scan my signature if you really want to ... Or you can wait until my first real book is published and get a real autograph then. ;)
