Took it once and was very conservative on words I didn’t “know”. Got 49% with no false positives. Upon inspection if I’d answered yes to everything I thought was a word, I’d have gotten much higher with no false positives. So I took it again and answered yes to everything I could guess the meaning of and got 89% with no false positives.
An example of something I said yes to on the second pass that I’d have said no to on the first: I guess superexcellent is a word, the meaning is very clear but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it used before and would never consider using it myself.
- Aromasin 7y agoI had the inverse issue. I answered yes to too many non-words, despite the fact in hindsight they weren't weren't a word - but I thought they sounded correct enough that they could be used as a word. Went back and also got a higher score by being less trigger happy with my right finger.
- trentlott 7y agoYeah - somehow "humanly" is a word while "autereric" is not. Cats sit humanly, but filmmakers don't have auteureric predilictions. I got 87-0 being strict and 93-17 by including "maybes", and I'm not sure which is more reasonable.
- mturmon 7y agoSame issue here. I would never use “indigenously”, and the google links to the word are all to online dictionaries, not to actual usage examples.
- trentlott 7y agoI can't imagine how anybody could use it in a non-awkward or unclear way Validity is not sanity; just conjulate the worbs, I guess
