How many of the 170k English words do you know?

Reply in thread

native english speaker here. 93/100, also just got lucky on a few. Interestingly, i missed the most in the "advanced" section, despite that being the middle tier... I guess weird words stick in my head better? There were a couple i missed where I apparently learned the word via context-clues while reading, but with the total opposite of the true meaning, and just never noticed, lol.

that's honestly not the best example, because, in many languages, the days of the week are associated with the planets, and all the planets have a well-recognized symbol associated with them.

with french in parentheses since english is a bastard language that uses nordic variants for half of them:

  • monday=moon ☾
  • tuesday(mardi)=mars ♂
  • wenesday(mercredi)=mercury ☿
  • thursday(jeudi)=jupiter ♃
  • friday(vendredi)=venus ♀
  • saturday=saturn ♄
  • sunday=sun ☉
