One more vocab test

   I've been reading the EFL.ru feed for quite a number of years now.  There a lot of Russian guys there, who, instead of actually speaking the language or requesting second opinion or something post links like this . And guys like me actually follow these links and test themselves.
    What is interesting is the criteria for the results are based on something that reeks of digested high-caloried food. How would you then account for the fact that a week ago, around 9:00 p.m. my vocabulary was slightly over 17000 (according to this super site http://testyourvocab.com/ )
 

Your estimated vocabulary size: 7000

You've answered 50 of 50 questions.

Rebranding

As is seen in the title above, this blog is going to suffer a slight rebranding. Here and there you'll find some phrases, even sentences in the language slightly different from the two normally used here. That's why it is only logical to assume that the 3 letters coming after AlPup's don't make sense at times.
  On a side note. Far be the days I hoped this blog would become the cemetery for my teaching ideas. Just the other way around, it has become, through the years, one of my most favourite nooks no other individual (apart from my gran) has ever entered. (This information is inaccurate!) 
  
From now on, this place is no longer Alpup's EFL Cybermorgue. It's a tad shorter and lacks the EFL feature.

Voila!             Alpup's Cybermorgue

Tesing you level

Suppose your friend or colleague said, "I can speak English well". This "well" is, of course, very subjective. To properly assess the level of one's language command I offer people this joke. They should read it without a dictionary and laugh in the end.
If they understand all of it and laugh, their level (according to the CEF Levels) is (Pre-)Intermediate. (as far as Grammar and Vocabulary are concerned).
An old man goes to the Wizard to ask him if he can remove a "Curse" he has been living with for the last 40 years. The Wizard says "maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you." The old man says without hesitation "I now pronounce you man and wife".
