This was a cute test, but it dinged me for not "knowing" the word "toreador". Except I do: it's a Spanish word, not an English one. I also don't consider it a loan word, because the English word for "toreador" is "bullfighter".

The English word for "royal" and "regal" is "kingly"


This is what's known as "overthinking a shitty online test."


It got me with seppuku.
