But I have an exuse. Without having read the rules I ignored the second chance for the right answer for about a third of a quiz. Thank You for sharing anyway

I think this quiz has more to do with general knowledge than linguistics.

Indeed.
I thought I could have done better, but seeing the other results, my 400 is not so bad.

I found it very interesting. Many of the curiosities are really well known (Kennedy insulting himself by saying "Ich bin ein berliner"). However, I think I've been lucky because many questions are related to my mother tongue and to my culture (Italian) and to Latin also, which in Italy is sometimes taught more than English..
