Another good one, thanks for the quiz.
I got only two correct but I had to guess a lot.
i got 7, great quiz. I love when the quiz template works as well as yours did!
I agree – it doesn’t always work , does it!
more fail than work for me, but good on you really great quiz!
I got six out of ten . .
I surprised myself with 10 on 10. There were some words which looked strangely close to French words. Maybe that is why I passed the quiz with flying colors.
Well done. You are right – there are a lot of loan words. We have the Norman Conquest to thank for much of that.
I even gave up your Bb quizz mid way. This one I do not even want to try. Never heard of these words ever (lol)
That’s the whole point! The object of the exercise is to work out what the words are most likely to mean.
OK I will try out the Dd when you post it but will not report if the results are a zero (lol)
Nope, not for me but I did go through the entire quiz. Very interesting to now the meaning of these words.
You got 5 out of 10 right!
I think I will pass on this one. Next please.
