32,200, but as the Reigning Pun Queen I have to say that it is not the words you know, but how you use them!

ok. I googled it, and if that is what Scarecrow has named his Netherlands..well..

I'm not sure if he is any more protective of said personal geographic location than the next man.

How many words do you know

Interesting little test that estimates how many (English language) words you know.

I'll be honest: I only know 26,600. Roughly as literate as the average fence post. :P
