I'm 'not quite', which it says should make me tolerable....grammar is more important to me than spelling; the latter is an innate talent, like musical ability...

Semi-Nazi, which appears to be about right.
However, does it mean anything that on the "boyfriend/girlfriend" question, I was really bothered that "they" was used several times for a singular person (“Your best friend has told you they have . . .”)?
Great quiz for this BBS, BTW.

Note on their first question they misspell "incorrectly".

Taken it before. Hitler. Though I honestly think that "your/you're" is a grammar error much more than a spelling error; it shows a lack of understanding of the language, not that you couldn't remember the precise sequence of letters. Same sort of thing with "its/it's", but vaguely less so, since the rule is somewhat arbitrary. Also, there's one question that explicitly asks about punctuation, which is certainly not spelling (except possibly for contractional apostrophes).
I also find it funny that the Hitler image's text contains a spelling error.

I'm "Neutral like Switzerland". Yeah. Not surprising as spelling mistakes don't bother me, but really bad grammar can frustrate me. Now where it the quiz to find out how frustrated you get when you are corrected by the spelling nazi? I might not be so impartial on that one  -Mike

If I took that test, I'd probably be "Shot, then sent to the Russian front, then shot again."
