This should take a maximum of a few months, but it gets a bit boring at times. I'm making a vocabulary test thing, with words from an eighth grade level (or above with the bonus section), as an experiment to see how many people know certain words, and whether it would confuse people when used in a storygame, or enhance the experience.

Each page doesn't take very long at all to set up - I just did about four-five in an hour - but the shear volume of pages is what's going to take a long time.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Help how? As a coauthor?

Yeah, that's the idea. It would take a long time if I was the only one working on it, and I'm hoping to get it done with rather quickly so I can resume with my other projects.

Okay. Sounds doable.

Is that a yes to helping out?

Yes.

Just a moment then.

Edit; There you go.

Why wouldn't I trust you?

This is a very interesting concept.  It would be nice to see a comparison between avid young readers instead of just average students (which I had to endure at your age).  I might not have the most accurate recollections from that period (considering that it was thirty years ago), but if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.
