Staying true to form …<\/p>\n
I’m returning from an extended absence from postage with a pathetic, lame quiz post.<\/p>\n
Weak …<\/p>\n
I know.<\/p>\n
But trust me,<\/p>\n
I do think the posts to follow are somewhat interesting,<\/p>\n
I really am trying to make it worth the wait. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Anyways …<\/p>\n
I found this particular quiz very interesting,<\/p>\n
I know …<\/p>\n
Who wudda thunk it ?<\/p>\n
What can I say,<\/p>\n
Geek chick digs linguistics !!<\/p>\n
Oh well,<\/p>\n
Now in real life,<\/p>\n
I get my fair share of grief\/mockery\/adoration for my style of speak:<\/p>\n
My interesting pronunciation and inflections of words,<\/p>\n
My use of various slang which sort of belongs to parts of the country where I’m not at the time,<\/p>\n
And my extreme, overdone reliance on double entendres.<\/p>\n
So when this quiz found it’s way on my screen …<\/p>\n
I paid attention when I took it and actually answered the questions honestly.<\/p>\n
And the results,<\/p>\n
Are imho<\/a> …<\/p>\n Very accurate. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
