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: "According to the research I've seen, the average person hundreds of years ago heard many more words over the course of the day compared to a modern human being." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
