if they're not obscure/outdated then who uses them?

that's kind of the point.

the people who made that test you dummy

>that's kind of the point.
Maybe. I was expecting more of a functional vocabulary test and not "tell us how many of these words you know and we'll spit out an arbitrary number between 20 and 40 thousand."

they are not exactly looking whether you know those words or not. those words work as an indicator for much broader sets of words

Ljubljana university? I am going to study math here next year too.

Around 14ish, at first only shitty fantasy and sci-fi, when I got tired of them I started reading browsing Veeky Forums. Began with Nabokov, then Greeks and now I am just reading what seems interesting (these days mostly Plato and Avantgardian poetry).

Most younger slovenians know english quite well, we're a small country so we have to learn languages (I'm not him). We also learn english very soon in school and we have to read close to on par what english-speaking countries do.

Yes, lj. I'm third year, failed a year inbetween because I was lazy.

Frenchman here. Read more (and more advanced stuff) in French and in English, there is no secret.

It is important to discover new words in French as it may make you "earn" similar words in English.

Also, I read the British press (Financial Times, The Economist, The Spectator...) every day, and I write down all the words I don't know or can't translate easily in French:

>to whizz
>to supersede
>to slither
>suasion
>stolid
>litmus
>rambunctious
>heist
>to bludgeon
>dearth
>elk
>panjandrums

How is this possible

Are Americans truly dumb?

A large English vocabulary is not somehow indicative of overall intelligence. I'm sure there are tons of people with STEM field PhD's who don't know what a "tatterdemalion" is. Just like you don't know the TD 5/5's of all the major organs or where the Crypts of Langerhans are. Knowing obscure, archaic, and rarely used words is akin to trivia: it has very limited use. You'll rarely see it in modern texts (and if you do you can usually use context to determine the meaning) and if you use it in your writing all you're either going to come off as pretentious or just kill the flow.

Also one of the guys you quoted was fucking Ecuadorian so I don't know why you're pointing to him as proof Americans are dumb.

At the same time, it's nothing to be ashamed of-- no one questions what they feel they cannot question, e.g. a mathematicians facility with numbers. But even mathematicians question others who've read more books or know more verbal languages than they do themselves. In our want of a general culture, this is a deep meme. 'If youre so smart, why aren't (you) a millionaire!' --etc.

I tend to read post-1920, sub-300-page books, which might explain why I rank relatively low.

Hope to turn my passion for the novella into a career one day.
