Take the following as truth: I am not aware of any studies comparing the number of words an average person could expect to hear spoken in a typical day 500 years ago vs. the number that can be heard now, but the increase surely is vast.
Then the following statement: "Though I've never read any research regarding how many words people heard back then compared to now, I'm sure the number has gone up." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
