No American quiz, I see. :P

My scores:
Aussie Talk: 90% (!)
British-English 90%
Irish English 90%


I got 100% on the Aussie Talk quiz, and 80% each on the
British-English and Irish-English quizzes.


I got 70, 100 and 80

I got 100 on the British and Aussie quizzes, and I forget if I got 90 or 80
on the Irish quiz.

It means we need to get more Irish posters on here. I've learned more about
other dialects of English from reading them than I have from any other
method. Time to recruit Irish cat-loving people to start posting anecdotes!
