Yes, I know. I can be wrong. Maybe I'm too headstrong.

Yeah, some of those words in the last column were like... "huh?!?!?"

26,200 eh not too bad. I did have higher expectations though. Anyone know how many words are in the average dictionary? It would be interesting to know what percentage of a dictionary i would know.

Upon further research, looks like its estimated to be a quarter of a million. Hmm i only know 9.5% of the words in the dictionary. Now my answer does not look nearly as awesome.
As beautiful as a musical melody...

Crazy

32,200 words.  I call shenanigans.  I know way more words than that.

I agree about the last section, too. haha Some of those words were ridiculous - I honestly wasn't even sure how to pronounce some of them. :P

ons and offs

They left their home of summer ease
Beneath the lowland's sheltering trees,
To seek, by ways unknown to all,
The promise of the waterfall.

Your vocabulary, that is. Care to find out?

Plenty of words I've seen before, but couldn't use in a sentence if you asked me. Funny, how many times you can read a word without thinking to look it up and reaffirm its meaning. On that note, I'm off to Google prurient and caitiff.
I do not want to go on being a root in the dark,
hesitating, stretched out, shivering with dreams,
downwards, in the wet tripe of the earth,
soaking it up and thinking, eating every day.

I'm skeptical, if only because I don't know how much my SAT Score was factored in. I got a perfect score, but I'm really, really good at taking standardized tests, and not nearly as good at general academics overall  :-[

As a side note, I always find it difficult to categorize myself with questions like, "which language is your native language?" English isn't my first language, and it isn't (always) the language that I think in, but it's the more proficient of my two (three if you include dialects), so it's hard to say. -__-
This is me too.  I got 28,200 words.

Amusing How many of the words I knew because of fantasy literature, doom metal, and an interest in historic clothing. Like Tatterdemalion, Epigone, and Oneiromancy
