30.63%. Senior Language Geek. The exact same score as when I took the same test earlier this year (and out-geeked someone who's clearly geekier than me).

Interesting. I just re-took the test, and got a 45%, up from my 42.5% earlier this year. But maybe I just exaggerated more this time.

Who did you out-geek?

Just a friend of mine, who I thought would beat me for sure. Out of the two of us I'm the only one who's stepped out of Indo-European to any degree, so I guess that's what tipped the scales.

Oh dear. 39.38%

Can I still insist it's only a hobby and keep the dictionaries and grammar books out of sight?

For me it's not a hobby. It's a lifestyle, a way of being, and I'm proud of it.
