13/14! I missed the first flair/flare question 😮 Super quiz 🙂
Does anyone get less than 50% correct?
I also missed the kerb one, the only one I got wrong…
use in the uk english system
I didn’t know about the kerb one because it’s used in Britain lingo. I’m only familiar with certain terms they use in the UK English system.
I also missed the kerb one, the only one I got wrong…
Missed the KERB one. Fun test. Thanks.
13/14
I didn’t know that “Kerb” is a word.
10 out of 14.
12/14 One of the mistakes was my touchscreen’s fault, haha
Got 13. #3 is British for kerb if I am not mistaken.
That is the one I missed.
We call it curb in the US.
Yes, I checked. Kerb in British is the pavement but it is used as curb in US. My mistake
So in US, you curb your temper while sitting on the curb???? 🙂
No problem.
Ha! I try to curb it all the time. 🙂
