Bit of fun...how large is your vocabulary?

--A

29450. ★★★ Top 0.23%. "You are Shakespeare! You can even create new words that will expand the English dictionary."

Clearly an unctuous test.

30,150. When I was a kid, I would pore over the dictionary for hours. Words fascinated me and still do. "How forceful are right words" (Job 6:25)

29975, posted on FB Tuesday.

I did this the other day when it came up on Twitter. 30,325. Had to guess a few of the later ones.

29975. But it's higher if you include made-up words!

Really unsurprising for SRD fans.

Mine was:




--A

Okay, okay -- I am the inarticulate one, I see that now.

Same for me. There was only one I guessed at -- avulse, or something.

I had to guess on that one too, but it bugs me more that I must have missed at least one other and I don't know which.

Being able to run your mouth isn't everything.

I also had to guess "avulse", I don't recall ever seeing that word. It helps to know Latin and Greek root words.

Yes, it does. And nice score, Av!

We're all in the top 0.xx% Like I said, I'd expect nothing less of SRD fans.

--A

30044. Average for this group of SRD fans.

Nope. Twice the screen jumped, because an ad was popping up, as my finger was descending on the button, so I hit the wrong word. Not playing this game.

30207. Confirmation bias says this a great test. Thanks, Av!

LOL, surprised it's still up and running.

And that I seem to have posted my original score as either a hosted screenshot, or using their "share" option, with the result that it is no longer visible. I suppose I shall have to re-take it.

--A

Hadn't seen that before. Seems a bit too easy to me.
