I know about 45,592 words!

Dictionary.com has a word test thing. I tried it at college level, and got 9/10 words (admittedly, one was a correct process of elimination). Thus:
I know 45,592 words

Mom got 10/10 (so knows a mere 50K words ☺).

You can try the test yourself at http://dynamo.dictionary.com/placement/level (needs scripting); post the results in the comments below!

...but, hey, Britain is famed for its rain.

Hmm. Ran it three times - each one had at least one word that I wasn't quite sure about, ummed-and-ahhed between two options and generally picked the wrong one! So, yup, 9/10. Fun stuff; Thanks for that!
