I think the How posh are you is geared for males only...and who ever created that quiz needs to learn how to spell and also their grammar...
-
If so called 'posh' people claim to be able to write 'good English' then why can't they spell?! It should be 'wear', not 'were.' Your 'posh education' is obviously not worth the paper it was written on. Just because a person does not fall into certain pre-decided categories it does not make them a 'chav!' I'm a perfectly respectable person, who knows how to write English correctly. I do not need to be a 'snob' to be able to do that, as it appears that you need to go back to school and practise your written English!
-
Yes, I kind of agree but you could of said that in a nicer way, as that could be very offending and is quite rude. But I completely agree and understand why you said it.

Deal with it man , deal with it

Dear Shutterbug - it is spelt learnt not learned, so who's not posh now?"
Actually, both variants are ok - especially outside the US. The author is evidently from the UK (see the list of shops).
If you want to pull up the author on their piece, you could instead point out that it's 'others' not 'other'; 'wear' not 'were'; 'marvelous is US spelling - it's marvellous in the UK.....

Dear Shutterbug - it is spelt learnt not learned, so who's not posh now? I hate all sports, so couldn't answer the last question - maybe though that's the only posh thing about me. I think also if there's a new version you could ask "have you ever used the word 'mollycoddled' in a serious sentence. Pompous must equal posh, surely?

Question 3 makes no sense. Did you mean wear instead of were. VVVVVV chav to make basic grammatical mistakes

LOL! love how i'm meant to be a chav? far from it if i'm completely honest... I can't stand chavs, they are one of the most annoying people on this planet as they can't be bothered to talk English and talk their own fuddy-duddy language....

Tells me I should learn to ride a horse - already ticked the bow that I could! Duuuur!

I may not be 'posh' according to your quiz, BUT I can spell and when I go out in public I WEAR shoes, if I 'were' shoes, I would be a piece of Leather and not a person at all!!
-
Turns out it told me to learn English yet on question 5 I noticed the blinding error:
"If you went out in public would you were"
Were or wear?
Good work :/mehman1 -
What a load of rubbish, didn't get Tv until I was 12, Graffiti never existed, Rugby and Football were the sports that we played, School Holidays was out with friends that is Girls and boys from dawn to dusk, we weren't mollycoddled like kids today. joined the Royal Navy and saw the world from 17yrs, learn't to become independent and worked for a living.

Question 5 is spelt incorrectly. Wear not were you fools
-
Hey great attempt for a quiz but I think people would know if their posh or not. :/
-
Dear Sirs, or whomsoever,
If I were to go out in public, I would know the difference between 'wear' and 'were' beforehand, thus not to put my foot in it when configuring quizzes, the moreso for quizzes that exhort my learning English!

5. If you went out in public would you were...
I once WORE a shoe, but I never were one, not even subjunctively.
M arvellous, innit?
OKAY1 -
why was it asking me to learn cricket when I gave cricket as an answer? I'm offended by a quiz that has no logic and can't spell or punctuate. Does that make me posh?
-
I may not be posh, but I do WEAR shoes!
-
Marvellous. That's how one spells 'Marvellous'.

Learn to spell! you are with the chavs who use 'your'for 'you're' and say 'should of' instead of 'should have' and as for 'were' for 'wear' the mind boggles old chum!
-
I can ride a horse - I clicked yes on that question. The result stated that perhaps I ought to learn to ride!

By virtue of the fact that you appear not to know the difference between 'were' and 'wear' I think perhaps this survey is under researched as to what comprises POSH people. All of the questions therefore become quite irrelevant.
-
I find it quite amazing that so many took offence at the results shown. I was under the impression that this was supposed to be a bit of fun. Most noticed the abysmal spelling, (were, instead of wear) but nobody seemed to notice learnt, which should have read learned. As Lead facilitator said, 'At least get the spelling correct in quiz questions!'
-
I too was appalled at 'were trainers', and thought the quiz rather failed to show that I'm a bit posh by virtue of farmers' markets, craft fairs, some cricket and rugby, the odd Latin phrase, but I am mostly struck by these comments. These reveal that many people who spent 7 years at grammar schools - I went comprehensive after two - have either lost their sense of humour or feel themselves morally superior to a 'chav' underclass. No wonder there's so little outcry against the government's vindictive benefit reforms!

horselover not polo lover here not posh. You are 21% posh!
21%
Sorry - If you are reading this, you could well be a chav. Come back when you have learnt some proper etiquette, BRUV!!
-
BRUV, tolerated tres is sure a posh! WE ARE CHAVS , HOORYAY FOR THE CHAVS!!!
-
-
So many questions should have had none of the above! I know it's only a bit of fun but do not appreciate being told to learn to speak english when one of the questions asked do I were trainers! Being educated in the state system does not make you a chav! Also no age differentiation seems to have been allowed for I went to infant junior and senior school primary to describe the schools came into use later, though my mother was a Primary teacher. I don't like any sports but put football as the most bearable.

I was at a direct grant school too - several of the questions I couldn't answer honestly.I live in a suburb - not city not country...... and I don;t want to be posh, but even with less than 25% I'm not a chav!
-
Before you call me a chav learn the difference between 'were' and 'wear'. I might not be posh but at least I can speak English!
