When you stop to think about it, it's not that surprising. People who study something as a second language may very well use it in a more proper way than people who basically picked it up at home and on the streets.

So, as of now, it guessed Dagothgares, Ohforfsake (you were from Norway right?), Fred and Neraus correctly.
I guess, it's not completely BS.

Our top three guesses for your native (first) language:
1. Finnish
2. German

Kind of surprised at the quiz guessing my native language correct (of course it only got one of my two native languages but still, mildly impressive). It'd be nice to get to see how each question/answer influenced the result, though.
