Oh dear me

I consider it embarrassing that I only got 40/50 on the CSM Science Quiz: http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/1209/Are-you-scientifically-literate-Take-our-quiz/

Two were "I am bad at math" mistakes. One was just a mis-click. A couple were hang-my-head-in-shame.

And really, I was shaky on about 6 more except that they usually gave two clues to the answer; I got by on etymology for some of those.

Yes, etymology is your friend!
