College-size dictionaries typically include almost 200,000 words; unabridged dictionaries from 300,000 to 600,000 or so. What does that mean? It's okay to misspell one now and then. Just know that if you do it on a forum, among other places, you may be called out for it. :rofl: Wurd! Looks like someone's fingers weren't on the "home keys". Second language? English is one of hardest to learn. SO many irregular verbs, idioms, etc. Most languages don't have the multitude of ethnic influences on them bringing with it, so many variables.
You wouldn't believe the feedback I got over my previous comment!! It was a joke... and maybe not a very good one. I have nothing against Breaux Bridge Dummies are everywhere. I apologize if I offended anyone I'm originally from Opelousas, one of the absolute worst places in the state of Louisiana. THERE ARE A LOT OF DUMMIES IN OPELOUSAS!!!! If you disagree, I challenge you to go spend a day or two there.... your IQ will go down a whole 20 points. I moved to Lafayette in 1992, but unfortunately my parents still live there and I have to visit often. When we do visit, my kids are blown away and can not believe what they see and hear. SUMMARY: I honestly believe that higher concentrations of stupid people can be found in certain areas.
