    After the party

    I'm going to a Fall Out Boy concert on Thursday and Saturday this week. They added the Saturday concert because Thursday's concert had sold-out. If they had announced Saturday's concert earlier, I wouldn't have bought the one for Thursday. Since I've already bought both tickets, I get to go to two concerts!

    Every time I go to Tokyo for a concert alone, I feel a little lonely after the concert ends. Most of the time I go to the concert alone because there's no one around me who likes to listen to the same music I do. Sharing the excitement after the concert ends might be the best part of the concert, but I can't share that experience if I go alone. Maybe I should meet up with a girl who comes to the concert alone and has the same loneliness as mine?

    How many words does a native speaker use in daily life?

    “Green Eggs and Ham,” is a book written by Dr. Seuss---the pen-name of Theodor Seuss Geisel---whose vocabulary famously consisted of just fifty different words. It was the result of a bet between Seuss and his publisher, Bennett Cerf, that Seuss (after completing The Cat in the Hat using 225 words) could not complete an entire book using so few words.

    Obviously, if one can write a book using as few as 50 words, it seems doubtful that having a vocabulary of 40,000 words is not necessary for communicating.  According to lexicographer Susie Dent, the average active vocabulary of an adult English speaker is around 40,000 words, with a passive one of around 20,000 words.

     

    <em>Did you invert the numbers, perhaps? Lovely and thought-provoking composition nevertheless.</em>
