Of the 400,000 words in the English language, the working journalist is accredited with use of the largest number, something less than 20,000.
Clergymen, Lawyers and Doctors, use an average of about 10,000 words.
Skilled workers of ordinary education know about 5000, the farm laborers about 1600, the sciences and professions (banking etc) have large numbers of words the layman never hears of. For instance, medical men and women must know the names of 433 muscles, 193 veins, 707 arteries, 500 pigments, 295 poisons, 109 tumors, 700 tests, over 200 diseases, and over 1300 bacteria.
Yet with all these words, think of the people who still have trouble expressing themselves. Think of the people who constantly wonder what they are all about...
what about writers,hmmmmmm????
