My brain hurts...

Click the pic for a link to a very difficult grammar quiz. 
I got 8 out of 10 "Grammar Guru". 
I would hope so, as grammar is one of my subjects at uni. 
I CHALLENGE YOU YOU DO BETTER!

    It was so difficult! I got the title of Colon Confusenik, but what does confusenik mean?
    I could find the meaning in my dictionary and on the internet. Eriya

    Ooooh... tough question.
    It's a German word,

    From and online dictionary

    "confusenik - 1. Loony liberal left. 2. Cause groupies. 3. Anti-anti-terrorism protesters. 4. Has-been Marxist-Leninists. 5. Powerless protesters. 6. Protesting mental midgets. 7. Disaffected dupes. 8. Political pawns or patsies.

    e.g., Not ever having been touched personally by real difficulties in life, the confuseniks were able to run rampant with their anti-Bush protests."

    But don't think that's what the BBC website meant when they used it. I think they just used it because it sounds like 'confused'.

    :P

    It's German! That's why I could not find the word in a English dictionary.
    Thank you very much for the explanation,
    now I understand.
