I messed up accommodation and questionnaire (or... whatever ).

Never heard of that first word definition, which I've already forgotten. It meant quiet.

Yay for the lowest native speaker score so far!

Spelling is what really screwed me up. I think 3 of the 4 I missed were the spelling ones.

18/20, I missed two of the definitions.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

18/20: Confused a metaphor for a simile, and missed a hyphen somehow.

I just had a hunch on ostentatious, so I'd say 17 1/2.

This test is pretty easy. The definitions were pretty stupid. I missed the hyphen question because I was thinking it meant a semicolon, so I picked exclamation point in my desperation to find something wrong with the sentence.

I suck with those things anyway, screw hyphens.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

They sort of fudged that one, because "quiet" is a very loose interpretation of the word. Most of the time, it has a connotation of being silently stern, whereas "quiet" can also imply shyness.

The definitions screwed me over. I nailed everything else, though. Honestly, who the hell uses those words anymore? Context clues would have been great.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?
