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.

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 :)

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%.
