    I would be very grateful if someone could give me an estimate of the
    number of words in an average educated person's speaking vocabulary
    (independent of language -- if this makes sense). I'm wondering how
    many words are in everyday speech.

    If you do respond, can you please indicate which language you are
    referring to?

    many thanks (and apologies for the naive question),

    Michele Sigler
