So, how good is your grammar?

[garbon]

OK Schroedinger's grammarian.

I mean would you take the same issue if there was a question that said which of these is a noun and/or verb?

[Ideologue]

The question says "and/or," the answer itself says "and."

Maybe I need to relearn what a prepositional phrase is, but they need to refresh themselves on their logical operators.

[Ideologue]

And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[Admiral Yi]

Give it up man.  Pride has two meanings.  One meaning is a collective noun and the other is an abstract noun.  Therefore pride is a collective *and* an abstract noun.

[Ideologue]

OR.

[Admiral Yi]

If I said you're thick headed *or* a hillbilly, it means one or the other, not both.  You're thick headed *and* you're a hillbilly. 

[Ideologue]

Yeah, but I can be both of those at the same time.

[CountDeMoney]

If I said you're thick headed *or* a hillbilly, it means one or the other, not both.  You're thick headed *and* you're a hillbilly.

In the Aristotelian sense, of course.

[DGuller]

I got 12/12. 

[PDH]

I didn't take the test because she died about 10 years ago and that made me kinda sad.

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah, but I can be both of those at the same time.

So can a word Out House my lad.  "Pride" is five letters joined together that has varies significations in the English language.  It is a part of speech.  It is an abstraction.  It is not that particular pride of lion's sitting right over there eating eland at the moment.

So just like you, this five letter grouping can be many things at the same time.

[mongers]

I had a 1970s British 'Comprehensive' education, I don't need to take the test do I ? 

[Syt]

"Truth" is an abstract and collective noun?    I said just abstract.  Haven't thought of that abstract/concrete noun crap in a very long time -- they are really more philosophical questions than grammar ones.  If such a differance can be claimed.   

No, on that one it was pride that is abstract and collective because of the two different meanings.

That's stupid.  It either means one thing ("regard for someone, something, or an accomplishment, ordinarily reflecting upon oneself"), and is abstract, or it means the other ("buncha lions"), and is collective.  It can't be both at the same time.

It's called a Homonym

[Josquius]

My use of grammar when I try is pretty good. My grasp of the terminology however....

I got 11. Easier than I thought. A lot of the terminology is rather logical given its name.

[Maladict]

No, on that one it was pride that is abstract and collective because of the two different meanings.

  Oh, right.  Sneaky.

Yeah, pride got the better of me as well. 13/14
