VOCABULARY

Do you think your vocabulary is increasing all the time?  I took a little vocabulary quiz on the Meriam Webster website the other day.  When you finish and want to see your score, they ask your age.  Then, they not only give your score, they give you the average scores by age grouping.  Here are their results.
Teens 2050
20 +   2350
30 +   2580
40 +   2710
50 +   2860
60 +   2920
70 +   2730
I thought this was very interesting.  A person's vocabulary DOES increase every day.  The down side is that when you get into your seventies, you start losing it. I'm almost there.
Oh, my score?  3460
:o)
