Share on FacebookNo-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 Superseded and supersede are both correct (the former being the past tense of the latter).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.
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.
