Pop Quiz: Irish English

We hope you'll have a bit of fun with the weekly Pop Quiz. Answer the questions to the best of your ability. In order for the Professor to grade your quiz, all questions must be answered (even if you have to make a very educated guess). After your Pop Quiz has been graded, you'll be able to see how well you did in relation to all of the others who took the test. Those who score a "B" or better are eligible to enter the AdjunctNation.com weekly giveaway drawing. Good luck!
