can you guess how educated I am from how I write?

Question

This is what I did today.Tell me what level of education you think I have had.
This morning I woke up after a very long sleep.I rushed to the shower,grabbed some breakfast and set off down town for some shopping.It was the sales so was able to but some really good stuff.I arrived home a few hours later and tidied the house up.It was a total mess,before sticking my ready meal in the microwave and relaxing.

So judging from what I've written how educated am I?

I'm not trying to seem more posh or more working class.I'm writing in the manner I normally do.

And the answer is..... I am at University!

Answer 1

You can't use punctuation properly. There should be a space after the full stop or the comma before the next word. You spelt "buy" incorrectly and omitted an "I" in "so [I] was able". The phrase "It was a total mess" should be attached to the sentence about tidying the house up not the one about cooking the meal.

Thirty years ago, this standard of written English would be seen in early high school. Unfortunately, today, with modern education, this standard is sometimes seen in university students.

Answer 2

I get this all the time, but the other way around because i CHOOSE to type in shorthand and use abbreviations, eg initialisms such as LOL for laugh out loud and letter and number homophones such as r and 2

So people assume i am uneducated and stupid

Its a very sad day when some1's intelligence is actually judged on 1 Question, hold ur head up, some of the best qualified people are complete PLUMS, and even if u have letters after your name, ur shite still smells the same

But i dont mind i enjoy when people underestimate me, i like 2 surprise them and open their minds

Answer 3

Reasonably educated.
The part where you tidied the house up would have been better written " ...and tidied the house up -which was a total mess- before sticking my ready meal...."
You also wrote "but" instead of "buy" in the part about the sales.

Answer 4

I havn`t a clue to be honest. I`ve worked with some real dopes who struggle with a 4 letter word in a crossword and have spent 3 years at Uni - doing what? Some of them are so thick it`s laughable. I know others who left school at 15 and have more common sense and acquired knowledge than the so called `Educated`.

Edit: To hh
Where are your capitol letters at the start of a sentence if you have a BA in English Lit? Are you a tad hypocritical?

Answer 5

I assume that by your name, you want everyone to look at you.

Probably because in real life everyone looks through you.

You are potentially very intelligent, and by using poor grammar will get more results to boost your flagging ego.

'So judging from what I've written how educated am I?' = Masters or something similar, but really a stand alone individual, who fears others views of the individual.

Answer 6

Errrrrrrrrrm I don't trust you. But I'm glad Ask Elvis is back.

I was impressed that you have a new way of relaxing by putting a ready meal in the microwave. It must be the circular action.

Answer 7

Education is relative. Some people have qualifictaions etc but have no common sense. You probably have hardly any qualifications but you're a thinking person, you possibly think deeply about things and you're confident in who you are.
I'd guess you are working class

Answer 8

I think you dropped out of infant school and spent the next 10 years living in a cave, but I think you just about remember enough to get by

Answer 9

It is difficult to tell how educated someone is by how they write. My friend's husband is quite intelligent (he's a computer programmer) and he mixes up to too and two as well as their there and they're all of the time. You'd think he was an idiot if he wrote "I told him to go they're too get my beer and my peanuts two" He's not an idiot though, just careless.

Answer 10

You're punctuation isn't brilliant (no spaces after your comma's or full stop's) and some of your words aren't what I would call good grammer eg. It was the sales so was.......

I'd say you are either not very well educated or you are but you are taking the mick.
