D00d, I *aced* this quiz! I only missed, like, three or four! :p
Seriously, though, thanks for putting the effort into this and for doing this what, in the middle of the night or something? I was up until friggin 2a, and I woke up at 7a (yeah, work should be fun today) and this was posted between then and now.

HA ~ (for the ‘ol Flintstones fans out there)
An anniversary (from the Latin anniversarius, from the words for year and to turn, meaning (re)turning yearly; known in English since c. 1230) is a day that commemorates and/or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same day of the year as the initial event. For example, the first event is the initial occurrence or, if planned, the inaugural of the event. One year later would be the first anniversary of that event. The word was first used for the Christian feasts to commemorate the saints.
(I thought this site was older than that btw)

Oops…nevermind. I just wrote down the wrong letter for the first one. I was wondering why the one-year anniversary would be taking place on sometime that wasn’t its one-year anniversary. Nevermind. I got them all right. XD
