Set off thinking this is too easy, then got to the ones I'd never even heard of, and I like to think of myself as a cunning linguist! ;-)

Got only 16/28, though I read quite a lot. But.. imho not that bad for a native speaker of a slavic language (-;

Some I knew for certain, others not at all and got wrong, but scored a couple of lucky guesses for 21/28. I do a lot of reading and always look up words I don't know when I come across them in books or online. I've always had a better-than-average vocabulary than my everyday acquaintances, and when I use words these people don't know they often regard me as a snob.

27/28... I'm one of those people who loves to read, so I KNOW a lot of weird, obscure words, but I have no idea how to pronounce any of them, because I've only seen them in printed form and never heard them spoken aloud XD (note: I got the pigeon one wrong XD )

26/28. Not a perfect score. Most of these are fairly obvious if you speak a Romance language and have some background in Greek. I did just take two completely lucky guesses. Specifically: Agelast and Octothorpe. Obelus took me a few minutes, but then I remembered that "obelos" is an ancient greek work for a spear, and it's where obelisk comes from, and medieval mathematicians love ancient Greek symbology. Whereas the other word I was considering was "Sepul", which I assumed would be connected to sepulcrum, classical latin for a grave site. And I figured a stabbing spear was more closely connected to division than a grave. And if you can't follow that logic, it's because you are probably sane.

It just occurred to me that agelast may not be "age-last" but "a-ge-last", and we know that "gelastos" in Greek is laughter, and "a" is "not", like in "a-theist". Thankfully I happened to guess that right anyways.
