I am tired than a very tired thing. Or possibly just a little bit more tired than that.

If I were slightly less tired, I might be able to think about just why I'm so tired ...

Still. Weekend soon. And then holiday the week after that. And this made me smile.

ETA: I am clearly very clever, as I know 39,900 words, and am some way above the 95th percentile. But then we all knew that, anyway.

Clearly far more clever than me- I only got 38,300

Apparently I know 41,000 words. I bet Mole can beat me, though!

Hmmm... I suspec the test is flawed as it thinks I know 40,100 words which is more than Wellinghall and I know I'm not as well educated or well read as he is.

I'm a little behind you at 39,200 - but feel chuffed because I ain't an academic.

I STILL think that you get tireder than a tired thing partly because at weekends you do a lot of things, often tiring things. (Lovely, happy-making things, but tiring never-the-less.)

I am clearly very stupid as I don't know very many at all!

I hope you can have a nice weekend and be less tired by Monday.

I have no idea about clever, and I can't be bothered, but I always seem to be clicking on sodding 'add to dictionary'.

What is it with word processors that know practically no words?

41,100 according to the test. Though I was frustrated by several that I'd definitely come across somewhere but wasn't quite sure of a definition on. But as Skordh says, being a classicist gives an unfair advantage as you can deduce the meaning of a lot of words from first principles :-)
