I brought a dictionary and still could not figure out what was wrong with one where you pick the non-standard English.
Anyone protest any of these?
Any idea what the issues were?

I have an excellent idea what the issue was.

Yes. You brought a dictionary as a grammar reference.

You didn't use the dictionary that has English spelled E-N-G-I-L-S-H, did you? Just f@&$?#g with you.

"the elements of style" is the best book I know for grammar/standard English help, but I'm not sure if you can bring that to the protest. I'm not sure of the questions are protestable, they were somewhat tricky for people that haven't taken english 101 for 10 years, but still pretty basic. With that said, I'm pretty sure I got 2 of them wrong lol needless to say my "elements of style" book hasn't come out of storage in close to a decade.
