eh? I can only think that considering sentences without the necessary punctuation as legitimate has affected things, but I don't see how.

I sound ridiculous if I try to speak true ebonics but I do use some of the black vernacular now and then.

„Man can do what he wants but he cannot want what he wants.“
– Arthur Schopenhauer
It's not always obvious but I have a pretty good grasp on the English language and score very high on most grammar tests. I also subscribe to "word of the day". In person, I tend to have broken speech if I am overwhelmed by many thoughts vying to come, from lips, all at once. I love when I form telepathic connections and people just get it no matter what I am presenting to them.
IRL I don't really speak like I write.

I did the test again and judged the sentences on whether I considered the written form grammatical, rather than taking into account the spoken, and I got this:

"He said that she is taking a trip." - I probably consider that grammatical even though it is not completely clear
"Who did Bill ask why Jane was talking to?" - not grammatical, as should have two question marks in there
"Who whom kissed?" - ok
"Up the audience's expectations, the critics built." - probably is grammatical, but I didn't consider it acceptable.
"Sorry to disturb with the weekend" - also possibly\technically grammatical, but difficult to sense what the test is asking, so I made that a no.
Ahh, and there is Subteigh taking a quiz numerous times for the results didn't suit his fancy. KEK.
Wow, I thought I would do terribly because I suck at grammar. Clearly, the rest of you are worse than me!

My results were pretty much the same as,BG, Cpig and Kim but then it offered Vietnamese (3rd) as a possible first language so I am wondering where i went wrong.

Until recently here in England grammar wasn't emphasized in primary and secondary English curriculum, outside of it serving as a means to an end. It didn't impact your grades too badly if your grammar was poor. Some of those sentences in the quiz were really fucking weird to me, but probably grammatically right and others obviously picked them. idk.

I feel like this was a restrictive test. It did not take point of view into consideration.
For instance, if I were a bacteria I could easily be playing inside of the soccer
team, or perhaps if I were coroner. Maybe they were operating under the premise that
bacteria cannot read so they would not be taking this test and that coroners
do not consider examining bodies to be playing, either way this was creatively
limiting.

I have never been near Canada, Singapore, Sweden, Norway.
My heritage:
Mother: American Mid Atlantic. Scotch-Irish/German heritage (probably most influential in my development of speech)
Father: American Appalachian. German/British heritage
You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek.
But first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril.
You shall see things, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... cow... on the roof of a cotton house. And, oh, so many startlements.
I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the ob-stacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward.
Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.

ok how did it do that?
Why no black vernacular/ebonics? I am not sure how they determined that part from my answers but it was my second. I have a heavy influence from some of my friends. I have this ability to change my accent and dialect according to my environment. I don't do it on purpose, anymore. My sister and I would speak gibberish when we were in our teens when some guys tried to pick us up but it sounded good and over time she and I had created enough gibberish to understand each other. They would try to guess which country we were from.
As soon as I drove through South Carolina, on my recent trip, I started talking like a hick (no offense to people there. I know they don't all speak that way). My friend and I spoke hick to each other for 2 days, when we were alone of course.
