29600! Not bad for 2nd language XD

Don't you now live in an english-only place though? I wonder if 2nd language counts when we do or if it's just when you just learned English as a second language?

Also it would be nice to see the people from France do that test. For some reasons I sense that the majority will not even hit 1000 because in France English isn't as important as in places like Quebec where we are surrounded by English states.

Yeah. But I've only lived in USA for like 5 years(and lived in Korea for like 12 years). So I think English still counts as my 2nd language. Also, I think I learned 1/4 of the hard words from hard-core self SAT prep XP

Ah ok I see, I thought you moved to USA like when you were kid.

Where I live we rarely run into English people except on Saturdays or some holidays (such as thanksgiving last monday). If I go to Quebec city, however, there are a lot of them.

I wonder if a lot of people in Ottawa speaks English? Because I'm supposed to go there in Feb.

I got 23,300 words and I am a native speaker. I'm a bit above average for my age. Some of the words didn't even look like they were English! ???

Edit: Why do 7 year-olds know more words than 8 year olds?  :P

hmm, it says i have ~34,100
to be fair, i had both latin and greek classes in highschool, and a lot of the words can be figured out as you go from those (things like oneiromancer [although i knew that one already from Neil Gaiman's Sandman :P] and uxorcide).

EDIT: i thought it was just my version, but i went back through and saw that it's the same words every time, so... did anyone else think the number of words with sexual connotations was a bit odd?

The second page changes according to your results of the first page.  I didn't notice too many on my test.  :P

I'd like to see more of our European members take the test. :D Also, some of you have pretty impressive vocabularies. I'm always looking up words i don't know, but apparently I could stand to branch out quite a bit more. :)

Speaking of English, the title should say, "How many English words do you know?" 

I know it's really knit-picky.  :P
