	Worked for me this time. I expected higher. In law school one of the things my study group did was to choose 10 words each week from the OED that none of us knew and use them for the week. Really helped build vocabulary. But then when was the last time you attended a bacchian soiree. It was actually counter productive. We were being taught how to write legal opinion in layman English. Many of the words are archaic, but one thing I enjoy is study of the evolution of language. English is so rich because of the various invasions, Romans, Saxons, Viking, etc. I enjoy reading old English, it's almost Germanic. Oh where's my ticket to the shuttle. Ja, das ist richtig. Aber, ich habe viel vergessen!

	37,500 In one of the six languages you speak, right? Ha! Six is a slight exaggeration. I was relieved to see that my English cannot be getting too rusty after over twenty years in Germany, though. How high do you rate reasonably structured sentence length when evaluating linguistic abilities?

How high do you rate reasonably structured sentence length when evaluating linguistic abilities? Personally, I'd rate it very highly.

How high do you rate reasonably structured sentence length when evaluating linguistic abilities? Depends on the age of the child. There are certain structures in English that are generally mastered within certain age ranges. Between the ages of 2 and 4, syntax tells me more about a child's expressive language skills than vocabulary or grammar mastery tell me.
