I got 11 out of 15 – 73%
Great job! You got a majority of the questions right! You must have grown up in Boston or you must be a linguist expert!
I`m getting better, being done by an Aussie whose never been to the U.S.A.

15/15, baby! That’s what’s up! I got them all right and it said I got MOST of them right. Might want to fix that there, killah!
