Oh, don't feel too bad, Cider. My country's not even an option, so I quit. >.> Hm!

Lol. But I'm sure I wouldn't have got more than you. <3

26,100... That feels low to me.

13000 words only! I know it isn't remarkable in any way, but that's actually very high for a non-native speaker like me.

Darn it, I wanted to break 30,000! I guess I'll have to work on my vocabulary.

I didn't know so many of them. I always thought I knew lots of vocabulary. Aw, man. :3
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

I'm pretty impressed with a lot of the non-native speakers getting such high scores!

24,700. Good for a fifteen-year-old who knew most of these by context enough to get a definition scratched together in her head.
