From various sources I have found the number of words estimated to have been used and/or understood by the following:
William Shakespeare 31,534 (actually counted)
Winston Churchill 40,000 (educated guess)
Graduate 5,000
Non-graduate 1,000 (my estimate, discuss)
Koko the Gorilla 1,000 (sign language)
A Dog 250
Some of these may be arguable, but how many words do you think the following use?
A Blogger
A Twitter user
