Re:Estimate your English vocabulary size on Sunday July 17, 2011 @09:09AM (#2773237)
I got 30800, and I am a native Dutch speaker. Though I have to say that I consider English my co-native language. Most of the media I consume is in English, and in my work environment (IT) English is the default language. But most of the words in this test I knew from reading books, as it is one of the few places where using a very wide vocabulary is not frowned upon.
