6/10 with a couple of pure guesses.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I gave it my best shot. Thought long and hard, contemplated each option and said each answer out loud to see which one sounded the best.

I got 1/10! 8)

Do you tutor Hardy?

Do you mean to ask if I tutor Hardy or did you mean "Do you tutor, Hardy"?

9/10 (Grammar Guru), just be grateful I don't do a Hardy on the lot of you!  ;)

A handsome 7/10 including 1 guess. I'd like to think I would never be a pedant. Grammar rules are supposed to be there to help us communicate more clearly, not to confuse us, catch us out or give smug arseholes a chance to be smug arseholes.

I was caught out by Hilary as well. 

AQMP...still an arsehole, just not as smug. ;)

Missed the brother one too and that annoyed me. The other two I missed I didn't have a notion about them. I was never taught anything about split infinitives, imperatives or any of those other technical terms and I would have thought I got a fairly good education.
