How's your vocabulary? - Page 3

30,300

I guess I can feel okay about the score. The average for my age (27) is only 26,732.

How many non native English speakers or English as a second language? I would like to know their numbers.

I see lot of folks taking the test, which still I don't know what method uses for that, but most are USA users I think.

39,400 - so all those wan*e*s who say that folk who swear have a limited vocabulary can go and shove a f***ing dictionary up their a***s.

My score is 34,700, which is over 6000 more than my average age range. I still feel vaguely ashamed though, because it probably should be higher considering that I have a degree in English Literature.

21.200 (esl)

Knew the meaning of "leitmotiv" but until now haven't been aware that this is an English word, too!

The English language likes to steal from many different sources.

15,800. I have been staying in UK for last 1.5 years. My English is bad but such a low vocabulary?

Anyway, two years and I should be close to 20k..

Is it possible?

Maybe your problem is reading?

Falcao · 08-15-2011, 06:06 PM

22,200 words.

This is about 10K words less than the average for English native speakers in my age group. Since English is not my native language and given that I live in a non-English country, I guess I'm not too bad
