Yeah/ Yeh, I certainly have a better grasp of English than Noah Webster, who took the Ü"out of far too many words and had no grasp of Greek, causing Americans to mispronounce Paedophile (Pee-dough-file not Ped a file) as Ped (Latin root for foot) oh file. Also, he failed pronunciation with Trait a French word that is correctly pronounced Tray, think of Ballet as a similar example, the last "T" being silent as in Lait (Milk in French, pronounced "Lay") and Fait French for to do, prounced "Fay" ) and Sí vous plait, (French for if you please, pronouned "play"). The Webster Dictionary needs to study the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary and start repairing the damage it has done to English in the U.S.A. My ears grate when I hear Trait pronounced as Trate which is so wrong.

I have read several books "in a while", but have never come across any of these words. Interesting quiz though and glad the answers were included.

4/10 all guesses and not a great score. I'm ok with it, I will never use these words in any conversations 🇨🇦
