Dictionary or Fictionary?

[sat8997]

Some people know a lot of words and know exactly what they mean. (These people sometimes get beaten up after gym class.) Some people know a lot of words but don't quite know what they mean. And some people (bless their hearts) don't know many words at all. Which one are you?

Woo! It could have been made more difficult. I mean who really thought abstruse meant obese?

[BeaStKid]

The option in the abtruse thing cracked me up--->

 

The abstruse angles of this structure make it more likely to collapse in an earthquake.

10/10 but I seem to have an issue in every quiz where I unknowingly miss a few questions then am led back to the quiz with big red asterixes everywhere...

[jfalkon]

10/10. I'm surprised at myself considering my neer complete dependence on spell-checkers. I heard someone say that writers are the worst spellers. It's true in my case.

8/10

 

 

But I must admit to feeling incredulous about the abstruse nature of some of the questions

I got 10/10, but I have to admit that I was unsure on a couple of them and made educated guesses.

If I wasn't sure about the meaning of a word, I looked it up and I still got one wrong.

I think you're thinking of "fecal"...of course with the economy as it's been of late there's very little difference between the two anyway

The option in the abstruse thing cracked me up--->

 

Living as I do in earthquake country, the San Francisco East Bay, with my house about one mile from the Calaveras Fault and a few miles from the Mt. Diablo Fault, and my dorm at Cal sitting right on top of the Hayward Fault, I can say with complete confidence that this definition is valid! In earthquake areas, structures should always be built with angles that are well defined and easy to understand.

I got 10 for 10, and I admit that I'm often clinically abstruse.

[S.L. Lewis]

I got 7 out of 10. I suppose I should dust off my dictionaries?

[darkfoxprime]

9/10. I got confused on "bemused". (rhyme not intentional)

[FrenchCanadian]

wow, I'm impressed with myself,, 10 out of 10,,, tho I'll be honest and admit that there's a couple of them where I gambled,, between two possibilities...

[YaP]

9/10.. better than i thought. Some was more (educated) guessing (thanks Graeme, i like that ) than knowing.. i got "incredulous" wrong...
