Tried it again, I guess 44963 is the maximum. I was originally insulted by my result because the claim is that there are a million words in the English language, give or take a quarter million, but I guess this test is limited.

Pain

My total vocabulary size estimated to 21722 words.
And to be honest, I don't think I use even a fourth of that for my writing.  :P

jursed

19986 words! I've got a lot to learn, huh.  ;D

Very fun link. Thanks! I felt both smart and dull at the same time.

I can't lie, I definitely clicked on this thread expecting a dick measuring contest, and was pleasantly surprised when it was instead a literary dick measuring contest.  

33058, but I certainly felt humbled by the last third of the second page.  I wonder how scores would alter if you needed to select the correct definition (even from a small group of choices) instead of self-reporting that you did or didn't know the word.

Most adult fluent English speakers have around 20,000–35,000 words in their vocabulary.

I got 31614 words! And honestly, I need to learn and use more of them.

SweetSierra

I hit 33472 words. Verbose lil shit, I could try harder to use them- although to be fair, being bye-lingual makes a lot of the words easier to find in my head, there's always extras. 

(Yes, it's a joke, I can't find the words in any one of the four languages floating in my brain goo sometimes).

30,466.  Not to bad I guess, but man...there are a lot of words there I have never even heard of before, lol.

That was interesting though, thanks for posting that!

My O/O's

Agrael

23717 words! I think that's pretty good for a non-native speaker.

Interested in all manner of gay RPs.
My O/O thread

IR Halcyone

26875 words, not bad for another non-native speaker!

Shrimplified

Did way better than an expected at 30867 words

Abyss

Sadly, it's not as big as I thought It's 13904 words. :(

There were quite a few in there that made my brain feel like scrambled eggs.

...which I don't think says anything about me other than "that little daily Word of the Day desk definition calendar seriously helped me with this. Lotta these words on that calendar."

I think my actual vocabulary is smaller than this and that I got lucky with the words on the test.

Honestly, as a non native speaker, I thought the number would be much lower. So yay!!!

Wow, there were a LOT of those I was unfamiliar with and some I couldn't even pronounce, LOL. I need to read more
My On and Off list

My other on/off list

Let the Priests of the Raven of dawn, no longer in deadly black, with hoarse note curse the sons of joy. Nor his accepted brethren, whom tyrant, he calls free: lay the bound or build the roof. Nor pale religious letchery call that virginity, that wishes but acts not!

For every thing that lives is Holy.

26275 words ! :o

Wow ! Not so bad for a non-native english speaker, on my opinion. 8-)

7andFour

23.000, which is more than I expected, english not being my native language. And yes, what a lot of words that I had liteerally never seen before, let alone know the meanings of. 

SINless

40686. I'm now tempted to see if I can find or build one for my native language.

Also the first time I was helped on a test by knowing my white wolf facts
