Talk about Words

Found this interesting bit of info over the internet.

Shakespeare used approximately 22,000 different words in his published works.

Well-educated people today, use about 5,000 different words when speaking.

Most of us have a “working vocabulary” of 2,000 words.

50 words make up 60% of everything we say.

Mmh where are you standing. mh? There’s no wonder Shakespeare is still holding a good standing in popularity.
