I know about 45,592 words!
Dictionary.com has a word test thing. I tried it at college level, and got 9/10 words (admittedly, one was a correct process of elimination). Thus:
Mom got 10/10 (so knows a mere 50K words ☺).
You can try the test yourself at http://dynamo.dictionary.com/placement/level (needs scripting); post the results in the comments below!
Jubilee Heroes
While Big Liz looked fed up at the end, and Prince Philip seemed to be having a blast, I think the out and out beyond-the-call-of-duty are the guys who stood atop the symphony boat, singing for hours, in what might be the most objectionable weather you could expect in June...

Your comments:
Please note that while I check this page every so often, I am not able to control what users write; therefore I disclaim all liability for unpleasant and/or infringing and/or defamatory material. Undesired content will be removed as soon as it is noticed. By leaving a comment, you agree not to post material that is illegal or in bad taste, and you should be aware that the time and your IP address are both recorded, should it be necessary to find out who you are. Oh, and don't bother trying to inline HTML. I'm not that stupid! ☺
As of February 2025, commenting is no longer available to UK residents, following the implementation of the vague and overly broad Online Safety Act. You must tick the box below to verify that you are not a UK resident, and you expressly agree if you are in fact a UK resident that you will indemnify me (Richard Murray), as well as the person maintaining my site (Rob O'Donnell), the hosting providers, and so on. It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.
You can now follow comment additions with the comment RSS feed. This is distinct from the b.log RSS feed, so you can subscribe to one or both as you wish.

Hmm. Ran it three times - each one had at least one word that I wasn't quite sure about, ummed-and-ahhed between two options and generally picked the wrong one! So, yup, 9/10. Fun stuff; Thanks for that! |
