Day 411, Over 100,000 words
I'm not even sure I know that many in English never mind French.
I probably know about 100 French words.
Or maybe fewer.
Actually I'm not even sure I know 100 English words at the moment.
Let's see how many I can remember:
Bum
Cat
Toe
Lip
It
Devastation
Ogre
Bum
Dog
Millionaire
Fester
Bump
Sip
And
Lozenge
Gum
Tip
Chocolate
More
Chocolate
Ok I've had quite enough of that.
Probably many of those words originate from Spanish, Portuguese, Latin and Old French, as well as Middle English.
Anyway, it was far fewer than 100 words, so I guess that's a reflection of how atrophied my brain is.
It's a good job I have a dictionary available as otherwise I wouldn't have a clue what I was on about.
