38k. Wow, I have not seen such a large collection of words I didn't know or only vaguely recognized in years. o_O

Edit: oh yeah, native.

They estimate I know 19,400 words.

Native speaker.

Perhaps I therefore have a little reason to be biased, but the words I was asked to define were mostly old-lady words and they specifically weighted my answer on how much fiction I used.

If words like Olivine, boson, covalent and flux-rope had come up perhaps my results would be more optimistic.

How the fuck did I get a higher score than the master of vocabulary? This test is officially bull.

Three tests back-to-back got 20,800; 24,000; and 27,100. Shit test is shit.

I repeated the test again, this time using a dictionary to expel words I thought I knew the meaning of but was wrong and include words that I actually did know the meaning of but was sure I was using them incorrectly, and got 24,600, which is still rather low.

~38000. I played by the "rules" and ignored the words I've seen but didn't have a dictionary definition for (but could pick out in context). Native speaker.

This test is now officially complete and utter horseshit; I could've sworn you were the most English savvy person on the forums. The test suffers from an incredibly limited vocabulary.

Oh, btw, I think it's so silly when people get onto me for using the word "fuck" in my writing and in conversations because I'm "more intelligent than that." Bitch, please. First of all, I'm dumber than a bag of rocks and second "fuck" is a smart word, because it has so many different meanings that if you happen to know how to use it in every situation, you're most certainly intelligent enough.

It's possible that I know less words than average but use, or appear to use, a wider variety of those words in my everyday speech.

Agreed with swearing. They're some of the most powerful words because people still get their knickers in a twist about them.
