I got nothing to really contribute from today's comic. So...

I scored 15. Slight problems in red-brown, olive-green, green-aqua and some blue hue transitions.

If you answer the demographics questions and get a report, it does show you on a scale of 0-99, but you might have to save it as a graphic and them impose a decile break down on it graphicly to get a percentile number.
I scored an 11, but I don't think that translates to my percentile.
--- Quote from: docC on 07 Mar 2013, 04:09 ---I'm not a native (of the English language, I'm actually German), but "it embarrasses me (so)" feels/looks/sounds pretty weird to me, like something a German would say, you know one of those things that give away that you're a foreigner.
I think, "I feel so embarrassed" would be the best translation as it includes that "undertone" that ankhtahr mentions.

While technicly both "I feel so embarrassed." and "It embarrasses me so." are both perfectly acceptable English, the latter has the feeling for this native speaker of being a little old fashioned, bordering on archaic. Like, I would expect to hear it from a Civil War or Victorian era period piece. Still, I think a modern American wouldn't bother mentioning the word "feel", as feelings would be implied in the word "embarrass". So, to sound like a native, "This is so embarrassing." would do it more convincingly.
Skaltura:
Scored an eight, slight problems on the yellow-green and green-blue transition. :-\
Soulsynger:
Scored a 3.
With problems around cyan.
WAYF:
I scored 4, which is not bad. I do kind of wish I was perfect though. It's bad enough that I didn't realize I was short-sighted until last year, but now my colour is a little off too?
Colour is what makes sight so great... :(
