Is Your English a Handicap? This Test Will Tell You

THOUSANDS of people make little mistakes in their everyday English and don't know it. As a result of thousands of tests, Sherwin Cody found that the average person is only 61% efficient in the vital points of English.

In a five-minute conversation, or in an average one-page letter, from five to fifty errors will appear. It is surprising how many experienced stenographers fail in spelling such common words as 'business,' 'abbreviate,' etc. It is astonishing how many business men use 'who' for 'whom,' and mispronounce the simplest words. Few people know whether to use one or two 'e's' or 'm's' or 'r's,' whether to spell words with 'ie' or 'ei,' and when to use commas in order to make their meaning absolutely clear. Make the test shown below, now. See where you stand on these 30 simple questions.
