Also, this was not my first time taking this quiz, and this time my score was the lowesr ever, 9. So I am pretty high functioning at the moment, hence I chose to provide helpful feedback to the creators of the quiz. I expect people who self-select into participation in this very optional and narrow thread to be high functioning as well. Certainly not in crisis. For this reason, I think it is probably not asking too much to compose responses in a logical manner. The comparison between an area and perfectionism is illogical and thus incorrect in both American English and British English. It would have been incorrect 200 years ago and will be incorrect 200 years from now. The first requirement for any sentence in any language is logic. Your drafting was sloppy. Sloppiness does occur frequently and this was just one typical example. But no matter how fluid (as opposed to static) our language is, sloppiness is always just that - sloppiness.

I find "You make mistakes LIKE I do" horrifying. You like it and prefer it. That is ok to disagree on it. But sloppiness is always sloppiness and we need to call a spade a spade.
