It just occurred to me that my internet dialect in my IRL dialect are slightly different in a few ways. Curious to hear others dialectal differences and thoughts on the subject.

      I mean, isn’t the average english level in the states equivalent to that of a six year old? Remember reading something to that effect. Or maybe it was about literacy rates.

      Can you please provide us with a link? I’d love to take that test and learn about my english age. Maybe it’s like dog-years.

        I found and just took this one. It had tough words but I don’t know how accurate its vocab to age chart is.

            21470, top 7.55% Guess that’s satisfactory. But I’d still prefer to know my virtual age. And not the colour of my collar. 😉

                Wow, what’s your history? I got top 0.12% from being a pedantic kid studying SAT vocabulary since middle school (and from being a native English speaker who also learned Spanish and French to intermediate high school American standards).

                  Part of a Ba in Phil. I spent most of my life as a manual labourer and then fell into unix/linux sysadmin. But I read like it is oxygen.

          Got 29610 or top 0.2% apparently. I don’t consider myself to be wide-read nor learned. Also, I mostly guessed my way on the tougher items.

          Not a native English speaker at that. I just live in a country where a lot of the post-primary schooling is done in English.
