Answer by Summer
The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use. An ordinary person will have around 5000-600 words in their vocabulary, but the more highly educated someone is the larger their vocabulary will be. The estimates for the number of words a person says per day are: male = 6073 words per day; female = 8805 words per day.
