who said I cheated? are you calling me stupid?

No, just the way it is written is "your style" of writing.

 

[Celerity]

Hahaaa HA Busted !

However, Braces, Tildes, Brackets Ellipses and Paren aren't punctuation - They are edit marks as far as I can figure.

And what's with the baseball ? Why do intelligence tests cover so much goddam baseball, and little to nothing about Bowling !

The actual quiz had one more baseball question as number 4, so I had to redo the numbers.

No, just the way it is written is "your style" of writing.

Is or isn't my style of writing? I'm lost...

Besides, you've never seen me write a story or a poem, so you really can't tell what my style is.

internet typing and writing stories long hand are waayyy different.

But yeah I googled the answer... cause I still had as many as B before I did.

My mom used to grow rhubarb all the time...hated it, but I knew it was considered a vegetable that didn't have to be replanted every year.

I also knew that you can't shape a bottle around a pear, so it HAD to have been grown inside the bottle.

niagra=the epitome of ALL erosion....well besides mt rushmore and the grand canyon...or pretty much any stream of moving water anywhere in the world.

Yeah...I googled it up and found the exact questionnaire plus one more question...I just ctrl+C and P'd it all up on here.

Well if those are THE answers then they screwed up. You don't reach base in baseball with just a passed ball. You can reach when it is a passed ball if it is the third strike, but only if there is no runner on 1st as well. You can also reach base without a hit when someone commits an error.
