When we're done with the project, we'll put up a final version that actually gives you a breakdown of why you get the score you do, what parts of the world certain grammar rules are particularly common -- all the things people (including me!) want to know.

We're actually getting some of that up bit-by-bit as data comes in (you can watch for it on our site blog). Thank you to everyone who has been participating so far.

I see - the test writers must be Canadian...

edit: and since you're here, that message occurred in http://www.gameswithwords.org/WhichEnglish/done.php# after the result had been displayed, after which NoScript or AdBlockPlus interfered when I clicked on the question mark.

Prescribed English grammar often has little to do with the actual vernacular. I've seen many prescribed "grammatical" sentences that are woefully awkward to my very native English speaking ears, while the "ungrammatical" but more common form feels much more comfortable.

It didn't catch my northeastern either, suggested I was native dutch :/
