As an Italian it's fascinating that the last word is not particularly used in English, but we Italians use it almost every day in the same context.

@MarcusGiusto89

He is in error in question 12 by using disinterested to imply lack of interest. Disinterest means impartial. It should have been uninterested.

Alas, in query 12 (I think) the compilers committed a very common but serious misuse of the word disinterested. this once valuable word, which SHOULD mean impartial, is now used as a lazy synonym of uninterested. The English language is going down the drain.

5:16 so being a K-Pop fan was worth it...

@aSophisticatedCat

I feel like if I knew French or Latin I may not have missed the last 4 or 5.

Obviously, the top 1% use words that 99% of English speakers would agree make you a lexiphanicist ;-)

@brettm3851

i am now convinced my teachers lied about my English level

@fizzy_kitty69
@

I'm in the the top 1%. I have to be because the internet told me so.

@jeffchapman3849

This would work better if you didn't always pronounce the word "BLANK", as this distracts. Better to say something like beep, or mmm, to signal the place where we should put word.

@AurelioMusic-eg9hf

ooh, this was interesting! words to study.

@pilvikkiitisso5010

Enjoyed it. 17/20 but I should’ve done better.

Number 12 could have just as easily worked with haughty. The speaker could have been arrogant and supercilious.

@blossom9565

the last word lacuna sound like a pokemon

@guardiandemonx7936

Chimera threw me lol 29/30 😅

@threnody789

I was fine until 16... Lol

That's why I get full marks in MCQ huh

@PranjalMaharana

Never heard of most of the words in the last 4 questions.

@Alkalite
@

Well the last five had me baffled. Never heard or read any of those words before in my half century of obsessive reading.

@ogoj2
@

18/20 as an Italian native speaker. Latin helps-

@GuidoQQQ
@

20/20. Very basic.

@jeffkelleher
@

Misuse of "disinterest." Mean unbiased, not uninterest.

@jeffkelleher
@

13 easy and 2 unused word

@RonnieDilli
@

Ah, not that I aced it; however, no. 17 was unfair. I felt for sure the answer was "ersatz", but because the preceding word was "a", I chose differently. The sentence format in this scenario should offer "a/an". Now, please excuse me while I go read the dictionary on those other words I have never before learned.

Seems like them real common words ain’t as common as you’d figure.”

at 3:32 aberration is spelt wrong by the way.

@SekanCross

20. But the last two depended on roots

@mikekenney1947
@

I missed 18 and 19. I knew the word chimera, obviously, it's a very common word, but I didn't know it's metaphorical meaning.

@myselfandi67097
@

20/20, guessed on one. However, I am a writer and editor, so there is that.

@CosmicStargoat
@

Just a suggestion to present the choice between “flaunt” and “flout.”

@kerrycanfield332
@

In context #14 could just as well be acerbic, ie: bitingly harsh. Anathema carries a religious tone that could be wrong in this case. Do better with your ‘tests’.

@kevinsnelgrove4078
@

Only missed the last two! 🧐

@HailAnts
@

I got 16 out of 20. I just missed the last four—one of them I used to know but forgot, one I hadn’t heard in this context, and two I just plain didn’t know.

Got 18. 19 and 20 were words I had never heard.

@glenschumannGlensWorkshop

Missed last two.

16/20. I not smart.

@tracycarver6239

20. I thought reading a dicgtionary was fun when I was a kid and I consciously collected words. Goodness knows why. Cheaper than stamps I suppose

@WesternWynde
@

knew all 20.

@ncmathsadist
@

Yep, I got 16/20 correct. I am going to read the dictionary tonight!

Is blatant even that uncommon of a word.
