@audrey-caylin Close. It’s bestistest.

@sierra I have no idea, but that reminds me of something; I found an online app that you can paste your writing into and it’ll show you words that are passive voice, rather than active, complicated words that have simpler ones of the same meaning, and sentences that are hard and difficult to read (so, two levels) So I did that, and was shocked to…[Read more]

Ooops, or third, apparently. XD

Hello, Gabrielle! Let me be second to welcome you. 😉
I’m actually a fellow Tolkienite and I had never read that poem… I just went and looked it up and now I’m choking. THAT. IS. AMAZING. I have a new favorite. Thanks so much for recommending it!

And your book sounds lovely. Welcome to KP. 🙂

@daeus Of course. I was just testing you.

@dragon-snapper Ah, a dragon is never late.

@daeus I’m late, but I’m here now.

Hi, @gabriellemassman! I’d like to officially welcome you to the bestistest place on the internet. Hmm, tough thing balancing this with time management, but at least whatever time you do have for here will be well spent.

Hey, tell me more about your story. It sounds neat. I’m hoping to write some fantasy soon, so I want to hear about your…[Read more]

@Daeus Ah, okay. Thanks! 🙂

*lowers voice not at all* Of course I’ve seen the extended version. What kind of fan do you think I am?

@Emma-Flournoy Forgive me of such slander! Sackcloth and ashes are forthcoming. 😛

I haven’t seen the Hobbit in a while (a month, to be exact 🙂 ) so I didn’t really remember the Arkenstone not being with him, (capital offense, I know) but n…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy @anyone-else Ok. I’m doing the writing thing.

@ethryndal The experiment in living and the answer to the focusing question should sound the same. They both answer the same question: How should one act in reference to the thematic matter? Basically, they’re just two different ways of looking at the same thing.

Hey @aratrea @daeus, I have a question: I’m trying to come up with Experiments in Living, and I’m finding that most of them look exactly like possible answers to a Focusing Question. How do I know the difference, is there a difference, or am I doing something completely wrong?

@Emma-Flournoy I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the extended edition, but there was this scene of their funeral and *lowers voice confidentialliest* it was even worse than their death. I bawled. I bawl just thinking about it. And I agree, it would have been much more satisfying (if I can call it that 🙂 ) if their death was more book-like. Book…[Read more]

@daeus Either way, I like Obi-wan the best. *flies away on mop*

I took it yet again, after I memorized all the words I missed and now I must be smarter or something, because I got estimated 39,100. 😛

@sierra-r I took a look at that list. I was surprised to find that tricorn was on it.
Woah! Even more interestingly, there’s that annoying red squiggly line beneath it that says it’s misspelled.

@hannah-krynicki
No problem! I hope your novel is going well. 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions. 😀 British culture is simply fascinating (especially the accents; I LOVE British accents!).

For those of you surprised they didn’t do better, thought I’d point out that this test is a knowledge quotient test, not necessarily a judge of how deep your vocabulary is. Most of the words on that list I could have figured out just by dissecting their roots, but as I was supposed to click the ones I knew I let them lie. Also, though this…[Read more]
