Actually the phrase is "fast AND loose". [:D] Sorry Historiker, I indeed meant to write "fast and loose". I was implying that you hadn't looked closely at the wiki data. The 9 million figure for German represented not unique words of the vocabulary, but words and word groups[!] including technical and scientific terms. McCrum et al. cites 500,000 words for English, 185,000 for German and 100,000 for French. However, scholars certainly debate this subject due to differing definitions of a word. Some argue that Finnish, due to its structure, has an infinite vocabulary for example.

How many do you know?[:D]

AW1Steve -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 1:18:49 AM)
No where near enough! (I'm speaking for me , of course, I'm sure that Robert knows a great many more than I do). [:D]

BrucePowers -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 1:20:01 AM)
More than me also[:D]

I'm really tired. Must be all the excitement of the Gold announcement. [:D] Good night, all. [>:]

Mynok -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 2:32:51 AM)
Gah...that means I'll be up late tomorrow waiting for a turn. [8\|] [:'(]

USSAmerica -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 2:40:58 AM)
Nope, I'll likely have it finished up and winging it's way to Mars from work. [;)]

USSAmerica -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 2:41:30 AM)
Got caught up reading the AE Team thread on the way to bed. [:D]

stuman -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 2:46:22 AM)
39 pages to go. And I just noticed I went over 1000 posts. Of course I am a mere punk in this thread [:)]

Morning tithe... Leo, if you're going to send PM's, maybe you should consider having a non-full PM box yourself, no?[:'(] The answer is "sorry, you'll have to wait for the game", BTW...[;)]

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (7/24/2009 5:23:15 AM)
Unfortunately, I now have the old Spandau Ballet song "Gold" going around in my head...[:'(]

Now I'll have to wait until I resume listening to "The Yellow Admiral" on the way home this afternoon. Although I might preceed it by "The Duckworth Lewis Method".

Doubly unfortunately, I've only got the chorus (the only bit of the song that anybody remembers). I'm trying to break the vicious cycle by changing it in my mind from "You are GOLD" to "We've gone GOLD"...[:D]
