    I only got 27,500 words and I am guessing that is middling range.

    I do agree that most of these words are not used too often, so what's the point really?

    Ho ho!! After asking a Sicilian friend to take it she pointed out that many of the words are derived from Latin...and this is why our Romance speaking friends appear to have larger English vocabs then the native English-speakers!!

    I cry foul.
