Each week, Talk Wordy to Me challenges readers to beat the word nerd in a quiz challenge and post their scores in the comments.
Because I’m having trouble finding good quizzes every week, and because I’m lazy, I am using the Etymologic quiz on the last Monday of each month. It offers different questions each time you try it.
Here’s the quiz. I got a 4 out of 10 on my first try, so I went again and got a 7 out of 10.
Also, this will be my only post this week. We have a guest at the house, and between that and working, I am a bit busy. I’ll still be posting to Twitter; you can follow me there if you’re interested.






I was going gangbusters with a zero score until I got the last 4 right. Oddly enough, I’m a little disappointed to have ruined such a dismal run.
