aesmael: (haircut)
    From [livejournal.com profile] pouringsand, this page which claims to donate 10 grains of rice to people in need for every word visitors get correct. Much more useful than decapitating peasants.
    At first I was using the Answers.com plugin for Firefox and my vocabulary level was marked at 48. When I stopped using it to get a more accurate picture it hovers around 44. Very difficult to stop clicking, although I might quibble with some of their definitions. Well, synonym really. So maybe not.

Edit: Apparently 'grok' is one of the words.

I was in the 46-48 range for a good while, then ran into a bad patch, dropped to 44, and decided it was time to take a break. Interestingly, I did not know many definitions on sight; instead, I worked them out. An arbitrary example would be 'vermiform', with only one choice referring to shape. The shape would have it, on account of the '-form' suffix.

I do get up to 46 after a good run, but one or two missed words tends to drop it quickly.

Same here. In most cases the components of the word give it away. The ones I missed were usually the ones I could not do that with or when I decided it was a misdirection.
