This job, I fear, is rotting my mind.

I took it again just now in a less sleep-depirved state and got the same as you:

You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 88% Expert!

I bet we got the same ones wrong. Looking at the answer key just now (in frustation for not getting 100% across the board), I'd argue a couple of the expert answers on the basis that her references are not up to date with current usage (invaluable and sensuous) or conversely one of the things she has marked as wrong isn't so much wrong as simply out of date (payed) -- making it no less wrong then her out of date "right" answers. After all, not so long ago a happy accountant could have been correctly called a "gay computer".

I have NOT taken that test because I am a HORRENDOUS speller. I read QUITE well, but I can't seem to keep the letters straight in my head when it comes to spelling the words. Some one needs to post a reading comprehension and retention test, I'd score way above average on one of those ;)
