Thanks for accepting my findings as your answer. I've reposted the material below. "According to Ilan Stavans, author of Dictionary Days, the average American uses 2,000 different words every day, just a fraction of the nearly 200,000 words listed in the Oxford English Dictionary." Colossal Waste of Time Blog http://colossalwasteoftime.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_colossalwasteoftime_archive.html If you are interested in other fascinating facts about language, I highly recommend the book mentioned above. "Dictionary Days" is both entertaining and educational. Amazon.com: Dictionary Days http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555974198 I hope this is helpful. If anything is unclear or incomplete, please request clarification; I'll gladly offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud |
