364, but I only clicked the words in which I knew the meaning. I realized after I did the test that you just have to have seen the word before.
Well, I certainly don't feel that way so I'd have to take your word for it. I just don't get enough enjoyment out of reading novels to justify the time spent. And I'm not "artsy" enough to be able to appreciate poetry.Originally posted by: jagec

That's a shame. You're missing out on a big part of being human.

In reviewing the results of the poll, I'm afraid I'm going to have to call BS. There is simply no way that such a high percentage of the members of this board could score over 500 if they honestly selected only words they actually knew the definitions for. I don't buy it.
Me too. If I couldn't use the word in a sentence, I didn't check it.Originally posted by: skyking
