I’m sorry. I inadvertently took this quiz twice today. I had been taking a quiz on portmanteau words when the program suddenly stopped working — it got stuck on “Loading,” so I went off to have a snack. When I came back I went to the quiz on paper thinking, wrongly, that this is the one where it stuck. Now I can’t find the one on portmanteau words!

well I guess that’s okay because I don’t care about paper that much.
I don’t think anyone does, honestly.
21/24. Pretty happy. A couple of inspired guesses, a couple wrong that I really should have got right. Kinda balanced out in the end.
