N XPERTS tell us
r. that the voeabu-
larry used by the
average person is linn
tied to about 800 words,
and it is our personal
observation that often
h e only understands
about 200 of them.
Some takers know as
little of the meaning of
the words they use most
fluently as did the man
who, when his wife died,
said it was perfectly
redickulous,' or t h e
boarder who, wishing to
compliment his land
lady's cooking, told her
that's a popular pie
or the old caretaker who

that w h EN- we are
