	When the word "culinary" came up, I almost clicked on "flood" because I thought it said "food"

	I never knew an attack of adjectives was so terrifing!!

	Anyone else get terpsichorean thanks to the Monty Python cheese shop sketch?

	Celestial was pretty confusing, I put Stars instead of Heaven since Stellar hadn't come up yet. I feel like that is also a valid answer.

	No, I got terpsichorean because of CATS!!

	Sadly, I saw no need to click "Wife" for "Erotic."

	Thanks to How I met Your Mother for Sartorial

	Colmar:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 14:58 GMT		3 points
	I've heard of The Sartorialist, I just couldn't decide if it matches with 'tailor' or 'silk'.

	The really nerdy thing is that I can give you the Latin (or Greek) roots of most of these... I had never heard the adjective Terpsichorean before, but the Muse of Dance in Greek mythology was named Terpsichore, so that's how I got it. :)

	Great quiz. And thanks to Doctor Who for adipose and X-men for Cerebral.

	koopa08:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 15:24 GMT		2 points
	Very fun. I love learning new terms.

	One of the best quizzes I've ever taken.

	samcash13593:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 16:58 GMT		4 points
	Now that I can see the answers I missed, I realise a lot of the adjectives sound like the French or Spanish words.

	dancastro:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 19:28 GMT		3 points
	@samcash13593: no surprise, since most adjectives in the game come from Latin roots, and French and Spanish are languages derived from Latin. And I'd say that some adjectives in the list are still more similar to Italian words, e.g. "stellar" resembles more the Italian "stella" ('star') than the Spanish "estrella" or the French "étoile" (no surprise again, since Italian is closer to Latin than French or Spanish).

	Liked this, must admit some were lucky guesses. And yes, sadly, I also knew adipose from Dr Who. Probably whilst looking at how adipose I am getting through sitting watching TV and Sprocling.

	Looks like three years of Latin has finally paid off!

	Harder than I thought it would be, but it was still a great quiz.

	Almost gave myself a heart attack at times, but made it out of there without any miscues. Relief!

	Annie64:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 03:24 GMT		2 points
	I liked this quiz. Like so many others, I got adipose because of Dr. Who.

	thefrog17:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 12:17 GMT		5 points
	I knew all the "-uvial" words had to do with water, but I got most of them wrong. Good and tricky!

	royalpink:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 17:13 GMT		2 points
	I knew adipose from Doctor Who, too. And I got all the ones relating to the body because of my year of studying optometry.

	Challenging vocab quiz....love it!

	Yo! Finally a Sporcle quiz I can get 100% on!

	sivi125:	Jun 11th, 2012 at 20:17 GMT		2 points
	It really helps to know French.

	sapphire_blu2:	Jun 13th, 2012 at 05:29 GMT		2 points
	Wow, seeing what I missed, I should've known some of them since Spanish and Latin are pretty closely related. :/ Nice quiz, though. I learned some new words.

	loislane1810:	Jun 14th, 2012 at 06:43 GMT		3 points
	haha! I never thought that knowing what "sartorial" meant would ever come in handy. Thank you 10th grade vocab book!

	I got pluvial from French, but I guessed wrong on fluvial and diluvial.

	Erebel:	Aug 28th, 2012 at 13:33 GMT		1 point
	I got lachrymose from A Series of Unfortunate Events, ferrous and stannic from high school chemistry, and adipose from TvTropes, of all places. Terpsichorean I got because it had "chor" and the only one I saw related to music was dancing...
