Average man uses 15,669 words/day, woman uses 16,215. Let's say average household has two people and half those words are spoken at home, 31,884/2 = 15,942. Let's say 8 bytes per word on average, just under 128k/day. That's a little under 47 MB/year. Not too expensive.

Edited with better source/numbers.

Well shit my bad. That was the top result from Google with just those numbers quoted when I searched for average number of words spoken per day. I should've been more thorough. Let me see if I can find better numbers.

Edit: Done
