Tho Educated Person Who Talks English
Vol Usos About Two Thousand.
Few people realize how limited are
their vocabularies, despite the many
thousands of words in the English lam
guage, says the New York Journal.
1t Is said that person of education
generally gets along very comfortably
with a vocabulary of less than 1000
different words. On the other hand,
uneducated people manage to express
their ideas all their lives with the use Of
but few hundred words, repeating one
or two of these, however, great many
times.
A recent experiment proves how apt
our minds are to run in grooves. TWEEN
ty-five men and Is women students in
q psychology class were hidden to write
down ut full speed 100 words, oil chosen
at random. They did SO, with the GU
rious result that out of the total 5000
words there were only 1,266 which oc-
Cured but once, 5000 Of the remainder
being repetitions of 1853 words. OF the
1926 written only once, TAG were set
down by the men, against $50 by the
women. OF the 353 articles of dress
enumerated, 224 were found in the won.

food they claimed 179. Clearly they
