Only slightly illiterate
Only slightly illiterate
You ranked in the top 60% of English speakers. You most likely prefer to create your own vernacular in place of conventional grammar norms, choosing abbreviations and slang in order to better express yourself over the strictness of English rules. You tend to be more fluid in your speech and find that your brain is more intrinsically wired towards the arts or sciences. You didn't catch all of our curveball literacy questions, but don't let it get you down since you do still mostly have the hang of this language and know how to make it best work for you!
