The 100 Most Common English Words

01:00 PM PT, Aug 12 2008

This is a lot more difficult than the Batman or Bush quiz. Test out whether you can name the 100 most common words in the English language within a five minute time limit. Man, I am kicking myself right now because you can only really take this test once or it's cheating. I only got 57 my first go. I blame the timer. I panic when I know there is a buzzer. ;) [The 100 Most Common English Words ]

About the Blogger

Christie St. Martin

Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
