Pop Quiz 4: Let's Brush Up On Our Knowledge...

By Phil Stevens

This is the next in a series of quizzes to keep us sharp and use what we’ve learned over the years or continue to learn.

Again I’m the first to admit I am more of a down in the trenches, get your hands dirty type. A get in there, get that bar on your back and fork in your hand and get er done Type of guy.

Honestly, that’s really where all the work gets done, and most things are learned or at the least proven. But, Again it’s time to brush up on some simple terminology and definitions. We all lose such abilities like this when we do not use it in every day talk. Its good to do a little refreshing at times.


I wont be able to tell if you cheat so I’ll just have to trust you to be honest and take the test without looking to an outside source. Either way it’ll be a good way for us all to stay on the up and up on some pretty fundamental vocabulary and such. This time I am going to go a bit harder and not make them all multiple choice.
