1 - How many words do you think there are in the English language?
a) 70,000 b) 170,000 c) 500,000 d) 2 million+

England are using about 2mil worlds :knock-knock:, and :D All 2 million can be found at www.oed.com (http://www.oed.com/)
A vast number of the 2 million words in the language, are associated with certain occupations or activities. Unless you are, for example, a dinosaur expert or a tattooist, you will never use the specialist words associated with these occupations. Most of us have a common core vocabulary and a variable range of specialist words, depending on our interests.

a) Tea b) Coffee c) Casserole d) Potato e) Shampoo
a) China (from the AMOY dialect) b) Turkey c) Greek d) Spain e) India
Borrowings are one of the commonest ways in which words enter the language.The English language is like a magpie, collecting and hoarding useful vocabulary to build up the biggest wordstock in the world. This process has gone on throughout history, but the media has made it so much easier in the 20th century.
