3/10 :oops:

Probably not all that suprising to anyone who has read one of my posts.

5/10 - although there were a couple of lucky guesses :oops: so I think 3 is probably right for me too.

7/10 though I disagree with one of their answers, so 8/10 :-)

6/10. It's the incorrect use of they're/there/their and also you're/your that's most prevalent on forums, emails etc.

/double checks all apostrophes are in the right place

8/10 (no cheating - two which I was unsure about but made a best-guess) - never knew I was a grammar geek...

I looked at it again and decided they were right ... it's the one about the siblings ... though I don't believe it's a good question ... 7/10.

Cheers,
Robin
