    FTR, I got 29/30, having misread the voting age answers.

    I really don't want to talk about how many I missed. But, my daddy is an immigrant and proud to have been an American!

    David, I thought as a Brit you were going to humble us Yanks by scoring a perfect 30 or something!

    A meagre 17! (And many of those were guesses!) If non-Brits would like to try a similar quiz about the UK, one can be found at: http://www.workpermit.com/uk/naturalisation/life_in_the_uk/quiz.htm I scored 17 there, too, but there were only 20 questions. :laugh:

    LeBuick, my test taking days must be over. I missed the language one as well. Way too excited that it was an easy one I guess. Or at least, it should have been an easy one.

    The famous "Push 1 for English" went through my mind, probably spiked my blood pressure, and I just (for a split second) had the thought that well of course English is the official language. Then my blood pressure came back down and I continued on through the test .......

    Didn't you know the correct answer was Esperanto? :laugh:

    Seriously, though, you say that you continued on through the test, but do you now accept the given correct answer, that the United States does not have an official language?

    Oh yes, I accept that at the correct answer.

    Still can't stand pressing 1.

    A novel idea -- deal with the topic of the OP thread you are on. Which eight questions did you miss?

    The amendments buffaloed me and I missed the President from Texas as well as the national language.

    It would (in my opinion) be less confusing, and more polite, to refer to other members of the Baptist Board by their names. That would also have made this thread over 25% shorter, by eliminating those posts that asked you what you meant, and your replies to them.

    David is correct here. Please use poster's chosen titles instead of made up ones, and PLEASE don't respond to such provocation when it happens.
