These words are foreign to you, and that's fine - Almost no one uses them anymore, unless you're in a history lesson! Still, why not check your mistakes by clicking on 'show mistakes' and learning some great new compliments and insults no one would see coming?
 
Nicely Done!
You've surprised us! We thought this was a really tough test, but you've come through to show us you didn't just guess, but either understood most of the words or were logical enough to break them apart and understand where their meaning was going. That said, there IS room for improvement. Maybe try again OR check your mistakes by clicking on 'show mistakes'.
 
Wow, We're Shocked!
We have to admit - we didn't think anyone would get this high a score on this test. These are really old words! How do you know so much?!? Well, you've impressed us and no mistake. You're a real pippin!
