HOW MANY WORDS MUST A CHILD LOOK UP BEFORE YOU CAN CALL IT AN ADULT?
And if not each of the 928,989, where to start?
If you were to meet your 14-year old self again, what would you say about words that you didn’t know then?
That is what the upcoming WORD USER’S MANUAL is also about.
From wishing for words, we’re now drowning in them. In that sense, the WORD USER’S GUIDE is like learning to swim not just in the 928,989 words in the English Wiktionary today, but also in what’s next. Because if the past 0.0003% of Earth-Time is anything to go by, there’ll be another 928,989 words on top of the existing before long.
For the adults, it is okay because we’ve gotten used to it, but for the children it’s as confusing as the adults who say it’s okay.
