Out of Ours thumbs!

Ours recently wrote a test and you can see quite clearly where the gods of brains must have mistook their thumbs for their heads. This is the reason for some of the answers, or it is the reason I am clinging to for the sake of my sanity (which is low at the moment).

Question: Give the word class for "your"
Answer: Abreviate noun. Preposition.
Question: Give the word class for "microbes"
Answer: Micro-organism
Question: Give the word class for "Louis Pasteur"
Answer: Person

Question: What are two ways in which words are formed.
Answer: Words are formed by scientists
Words are formed by alphabets

Question: What is an uncountable noun?
Answer: It refers to many things not just one specific.

On the whole you have to give them credit for their creativity but on the other hand you have to wonder about the "hope of the future" that gets questions like this wrong...

I love the idea that words are formed by scientists. Sitting in a secret lab, underground. Starting at the beginning of the alphabet, trying to see what they can come up with. Like "acpectasion", "sturpid", and "venomenin". These, they then filter into society by means of subliminal messages let loose in various forms at universities. This is where these words, crated in labs, take on lives of their own...

Truly, in the hands of Ours words become something they never thought they could be!
