Yeah, I already knew I was pedantic. But this was a pretty stupid quiz, actually. Some of the questions were far too nitpicky, to the extent that they became minor style issues and that every choice was perfectly fine. Also, one question addressed the problem of the lack of a third person gender-neutral pronoun, giving the options 'they're', there' (both clearly wrong), 'their' (one of two actual correct choices, and the one I chose), 'their own' (which in the context would have been fine too), 'her' (possible if the writer wishes to be perceived as a flaming feminist) but not what I would consider to be the best, and the one I ordinarily use in writing and sometimes in speech, the pronoun 'his'. Grr.
