Still feeling like Death on a stick, but I think I'm turning the corner. I'll just be dragging my carcass behind the counter to nuke some soup. Then back to bed.

A + Sophisticated linguist
You performed marvelously on this quiz! Based on your perfect score, it is obvious to us that you write and speak with a sophisticated vocabulary that is beyond comprehension for the average citizen.
You are probably a professional writer, most likely a political speech writer or a novelist. If you aren’t, you should consider a career change immediately!
Confession: I guessed the last question (correctly, as it turned out).

Okay - don't get any germs on the board, kay?Still feeling like Death on a stick, but I think I'm turning the corner. I'll just be dragging my carcass behind the counter to nuke some soup. Then back to bed.
Here's an antibacterial wipe for your pinkies - just in case!

(personally i thought it was relatively good to get an A+ in atest of this kind when it isn't my mother language. So, I admit, i am just the the slightest teeny weeny bit proud...)

Seriously - the majority here do seem to be above average in terms of spelling, grammar, correct use of punctuation etc. We are either an educated lot or perhaps people who just love language!
First name is Connie. Last name is Linguist. You're welcome.....We are just a bunch of linguists here I guess -(very cunning!)
I inherited some books..... Don't have any space but can't bear to part with some books. Not quite sure how i will solve the situation. My mother read a lot too so i had to do a careful selection. Have been standing in front of my bookcases and scratched my head in consternation. What to do? Now i've think i have the first glimpse of an idea and have rearranged part of my collection. We'll see how it works. Probably i underestimated the amount of books but it is a start.
Take your time before you decide, maybe there is something you can do short term? Feelings change... (((Kurben)))

Both
Can you just store them under a bed, or in a closet until you can make bookcase space? Maybe a pair of bookends and place them on top of the frig, or small table?
Oh Neesy! I got that one right away.We are just a bunch of linguists here I guess -(very cunning!)

I have noticed this too. I think we are all just smart! Probably because we read a lot.
Well, folks, just finished cleaning up after my Oscar party. Have to say that I think Lady Gaga stole the show. All the haters still gonna hate, but ya can't deny the Lady has the talent. Glad that Redmayne won! Thought for sure that Boyhood would take it.
Did you have a good party?
I always thought it was a shame that she felt it necessary to hide that talent and yes, beauty, underneath those weird getups. I always preferred listening to her rather than watching because I loved her voice. I thought she looked simply gorgeous!
Have done some rearranging. Created a specific classic shelf were I put Austen, Bronte sisters, Defoe, Dumas, Dostojevskij, Gogol, Dickens, Hardy, Hawthorne and somemore. In this shelf i put the book in two rows, one behind the other, because since i know that they are ordered aalphabetical and that it is only classics i wont lose them or forget where they are. Used the same method with my King pockets and they thrive and i know where the book is.
