srsly
Every once in a while I'd recognize one, which made me think they had to be. There were some fun ones in there though.
am I really below average for my age? according to this site the average for 19-year-old people is 22908
it's not like I read fiction often or even ever, but still
maybe the selection bias is ridiculously significant
because judging by the people I see/meet near home, the average for even native speakers should be very much lower n_u

germanic > latinate
short words are more rhythmic and flow better, it's the natural way to speak english and even fiction sounds better this way imo
n_u
can i count french and chinese
if it hadn't been for all those latinate words my score would have been much lower 5thgrade;
