 Congratulations - you got 9 out of 10 correct! |
Okay, I guessed on one or two, but still, try it yourself and see how you do. (I'd expect all the H-burg kids to get perfect, being smart and living near the capital and all...)

bah. I got 9 out of 10 too. Stupid dates.
That first one is kind of cool, but my actual answers to some weren't even options. I use "soda pop" and for rain in the sunshine we use the term "golden showers" usually. And I pronounce "route" both of the ways they listed.
The second... sigh, I only got freaking 8 of them - how embarassing!
"golden showers"...hmm, I'd best say nothing there...
Actually, I have used the South African term "monkey's wedding" for the rain/sunshine combo.
as for the score--I guess you stil pass, but A CANADIAN BEAT YOU!!
(actually, maybe I should be sad that american culture is so ubiquitous that I did that well...)
I got two...
I only got 3! I failed!
Sorry I haven't kept up with you in a while. I've been busy this month--I think all of my friends have birthdays in October.
Hope you are doing well. ~BG
