3:17 remaining Foamy.
Spoiler:
That one was actually pretty easy and didn't require too much knowledge of English. I started with pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs.

Again, I thought it was something a bit different from what it turned out to be.

9/9, 1:36 remaining.

Foamy, that's a poorly constructed list. There's a *lot* of inconsistency about conjugation and irregular words. Some count as multiples, others don't. Not fond of that. 52/100, and missed some facepalmers.

I love how many times i got extra words in that list because I started typing one thing and it completed a smaller word before i finished. (Such as "So" and "Some".)

26/26 2:12--damn typos.

This should specify that its the current ICAO phoentic alphabet.

The US, RAF, and several other organizations adopted this in 1956, but this quiz does not accept previous codes such as ...

2:36 remaining. (I'm on a phone all day...I use these CONSTANTLY. I also type at 80 wpm+) I'd have beaten khross if I didn't bungle typing X and have to correct it.

26\26 2:19 left.

These have become little more than typing tests at this point.
