No-one ever says "Addio" in English. Bizarre. Also, "data" is the PLURAL of "datum"; if it's a quiz about being correct, then it should be "the data show", regardless of common, incorrect, usage. Superseded and supersede are both correct (the former being the past tense of the latter). She could sing better at the concert too (if she sang worse in rehearsal). Not good for a quiz on precise language!! Quite why identifying modes of transport is relevant to this, I'm not sure.

'Quite why identifying modes of transport *is* relevant'. That's Muphry's* Law in operation. *Muphry's Law: when correcting or criticising grammar one is almost certain to make a mistake of one's own. Why 'Muphry's'? Because it's Murphy's, only spelt incorrectly.

Christ on a bike; this is just encouraging the pedants. Edit: This quiz is just silly. The response to "which farewell is correct in formal or dramatic speech" is subjective. And the "you've just failed a big test" question... how is "don't worry" similar to "keep going"? Sorry, but no. Edit to the edit: This is a quiz about getting the right English term. *Spouts off phrases that aren't in English*" Sorry not sorry; but if I was on the fence about this quiz sucking I'm definitely on board the 'it sucks' train now.

As it should! What's wrong with getting things right? Edit: One could say either don't know or keep going - the point of that question is that Carpe Diem is the wrong thing to say.

I before E except after C is no longer taught, as there are more exceptions to that rule than there are words following it: Maybe you have a neighbour, who is a scientist and an expert in cuneiform, who weighs as much as a glacier. Or you have been cueing the atheist and foreign performer to do something and now they are a bit feisty...

"Data is often treated as singular in modern English, and “shows” is acceptable in standard usage." That is irrelevant when the question is about the correct usage. What you have given as the correct answer is the 'acceptable nowadays because people get offended when told they have made a mistake and it's just too much effort to teach them how to do it right' usage.

I recall when I was starting out as a computer operator then programmer about 40 years ago my FiL insisted on always using data as a plural. It was very annoying then - almost nobody in the world of computing used it that way - and would be even more annoying today. Insisting on "correct" is not always possible, given there is not, and there never has been, an accepted authority on what is correct or not.
