I stopped at 50, had like 4 wrong. Didn’t think that was too bad for a non native and not living in an English environment. Do I watch too much TV?

100%. I use these all the time but after reading them I understand why my 18 year old rolls his eyes and asks me to explain what I am trying to say with my corny line.

Had like 88 or 89%, for a non-native speaker who nowadays gets his dose of English mainly from TV as he doesn't have as much time to read as he used to have years ago, I think this is pretty good.

I made it to 51 and realized it was going to 100. Quit while i was ahead. Did they include that one?

Surprise, surprise.

I thought it was going to 100 also, but it only goes to about 79, not sure of the total.

Good scores for you E-A-S-L speakers.

I thought that some of the distractors could have been more inventive.

100% for non-native English speaker. I use those idioms once in a blue moon and found the quiz to be a piece of cake.

I can't win for losing:

I get bad marks for having an accent. However, when I obliterate them in the English department, idioms and what-have-you, then it's "Oh, well, you had to learn English; we didn't."

With all the hype of super moons in recent years, there is rarely mention of blue moons any longer. Without the Blue Moon, what would have happened to The Marcels?
