Microsoft's latest selection of quizzes (on current trivia in today's media) is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better.

The word “Quiz” is built on ancient words that mean "Who Are You?" (the first question in early Grammar-School's Oral |Exams, echoed by the practice of to Putting Your Name at the top of Tests you take today ... the question might also be the root of slang-senses that mean "a Queer, Odd, 'Not |Quite Right,' |Bankrupt Person" (or a Prank played on such a Student). #Quizzical #Quizzes #Quizzed #Quizzing #Quisby #Quizee #Squiz
