Not too bad. More interesting than most quizzes on the internet about language. I didn't know the antonym of euphemism and I didn't know poecilonym. Got all the others though.

That was fun! I did poorly though. Missed every one of the 'orthographically" questions. Guess I have a broader understanding of what that term means now.

I got lots wrong too. And, like Bob, I didn't know the antonym of euphemism - never heard that word before.
