For Halloween candy, I have no excuse. I live in TV -- trick or treaters are not allowed but I bought candy anyway. Wish I could even remotely justify that I bought it for the kids that wouldn't be coming to the door. Nope, I admit it, I bought it for me. It is now in a dresser drawer so that I have to burn a few calories to get to it. There, I've gotten some exercise, so I can have two pieces of candy, right? RIGHT?

As to the test, I take exception to "acknowledgment." In the legal world, it is "acknowledgement." Another oddity in legalese is advisor. If you're talking about a legal advisor, it is with "or" ending. However, if it is a financial adviser, it is with the "er" per SEC. There, your trivia for the day.

I'm not even discussing my score. I may try the test again with glasses on, at a reasonable time of the day. Those are my excuses and I'm sticking to 'em.
