Nice! Jul 29, 2013

I'm glad I had my sound muted, though. My husband thinks I'm working!

I wonder how experienced proofreaders fare, compared to translators who don't do proofreading, and compared to non-linguists.

I wonder how natives fare, compared to non-natives ...NO! NO! I'm kidding, I'm kidding....

Great link, I shared it with my teacher friends/colleagues, and the slightly annoying little ditty is stuck in my head....earworm alert....

No one around to give a high five to when I finally made it .... Jul 29, 2013

and now I have to try it again as my sound was off - the comments about the jingle made me curious! It IS addictive (and I should be working, too .....)

Don't like it Jul 30, 2013

I got through level 1 OK, but then I kept failing on the first question of level 2 - Its time - so I gave up. Can anyone who passed - selecting Its time as wrong - justify this answer?
