Aw c'mon! At least give me this small victory. I am still stung by my abysmal performance on the infamous "mechanical aptitude test." I think my computer actually laughed at me.

Well that's where my rusty Latin and Greek come in handy... You can pretty much figure out the meaning of most words, I don't claim to know all those big words!

Exactly--unfortunately, I never had any formal training in either language.

Ditto. I think it does help that English is my second language (after Polish),that I was pretty much fluent in Spanish when I was in the 3rd grade -- I lived in Venezuela for 4 months -- and that I took German for 4 years in high school plus a semester in college.

That being said, I only played until I reached 42.

I will admit to ranging from 37-41 in the few minutes that I played. You know, this is not helping out my pledge to minimize my computer use at work. Dammit.

topped out at 40 after a few minutes. After that I had to start guessing and it was all down hill....

Who uses these words anyway :p

Sesquipedalians.
