    12 for me. I used to think it was incredible that the Icelandic tongue had 14 words for snow. But, having worked my way through that, the English language isn't that far behind

    I only got 10... guess the 'idiot' part applies. But my Mom would have been proud!

    11 of 15 for me. That was fun.

    Those sentences made me think of the Restaurant critic from Absolutely Fabulous

    "equimenical in flavor, but the tomatoes were rather pulpous"

    13 for me -- I guess all that 18th century lit is good for something after all.

    And I'm going to have to start using Raconteur regularly around here --we have some great story tellers.

    14 out of 15, I am happily surprised, naturally some of the answers were the results of elimination process and lucky guesses ...
