Not so good, but since the most common vocabulary size for non-native English spearkes is from 2,500–9,000 words, at least I’m in the average.
Test Your Vocabulary: how many words do you know?

Mmmh. I got something within the range of native speakers, but I suspect it might be because a lot of the “fancier” words are either directly taken from French vocabulary or a very clear adaptation of French words…


I don’t know what the average is?

30,400
But I blame RPing and Vampire: The Masquerade.

31500
represent

33,600. I’m pleasantly surprised.

27,000 words.
hmm needs some work.

16,300
Despite not being nearly good enough, still a motherfucking success if you ask me

29,300
some of those words were like wtf is that, wtf is this, wtf is going on

20,600
NEEDS WORK

32,400
…i feel like for as much as i read, that’s p low;; :l

31,500

24,600, which isn’t much of a surprise to me. I’ve always been trained more to look things up rather than to retain.

28,200
Fairly impressive considering how little formal English training I’ve had/the fact that it’s not my first language.
I’m proud of myself shut up.

37,400
Needs to be higher >:T

32,800
NOT HIGH ENOUGH.

37,700 but then, I read Dorothy Dunnett for fun (and recognized quite a few on the list because of her.  “Oriflamme” in the first two pages, Dorothy, really?)

38,300
I blame cramming for the GRE.

38,600, and I thoroughly blame DM Cornish for this mess.
