Let's see how good everybody is at english here :)
http://vocabulary.ugent.be/ some of these words positively look made up, but apparently do exist
maybe "Only english in public parts"? :D
Works just as well :)
I got 71% and 77% on my first 2 tries. Approved some non-words on my way there ;D
77%/0%
I'd say this overestimates the knowledge of english words, at least mine. I don't consider words as `ischemic` and `polydactyl` as "truly" english.
57%
Didnt even get a deduction :(
31%
I think it is pretty good result for a 19-ager :)
And thanks for the link 8)
56% ???
66% (69 % yes to existing - 3% yes to nonexisting words). it says this is a fairly high level for a native speaker :)
@Statik: "English only" sounds more right to my ears than the other way.
for me it sounded like "english in public parts only" :D I think it depends on emphasis, but maybe it's not correct to put "only" after "english" if you mean what I said :)
47%. Some words didnt even sounds english to me.
Edit, ah its on purpose. Good I didnt click them :D

Yeah, I see that. However, if you look at "English only" as a phrase, it sounds correct.
BEAT ME xD
You said yes to 53% of the existing words.
You said yes to 13% of the nonwords.
This gives you a corrected score of 53% - 13% = 40%.
48%, nice test :)
49% :(
You said yes to 56% of the existing words.
You said yes to 7% of the nonwords.

Sounds like Rok is the winner so far :) I got 74% on my third attempt, so that's my average (and will probably remain my average if I try again and again and again... (http://youtu.be/9VDvgL58h_Y?t=4m28s))
59 as ryan baby :D
I wish I was as good as him in English in real life :D
68%

You said yes to 37% of the existing words.
You said yes to 3% of the nonwords.
This gives you a corrected score of 37% - 3% = 34%.
hard words :((((
Any1 know some list of the most popular words of english, i will practic my brain to save information huhuh
Be careful, just recognizing familiar words doesn't mean you know definitions of those words :) Try two kind of tests: say 'yes' only for the words you know definitions of, and second test - say 'yes' to both familiar words and the words you 100% know, the result will be significantly different
EDIT: Ok, in first kind of test I've reached my 30%, in second one - 50% :D
