IQ ^
We all want to be smarter and raise our IQ. Studies show that by increasing your vocabulary your IQ will increase as well. Get started getting smarter today... One example is whenever you're feeling "happy" instead of using that boring "dumb" word use words like:
~Elated ~Excited ~Overjoyed ~Thrilled ~Exuberant ~Ecstatic ~Fired up Delighted
"A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words... The resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt."
-Mark Twain

An estimate of how many English words the average person knows is around 12,000 - 20,000 words, varying with the level of education achieved. Some say college/university graduates use upwards of 20-25,000 words. These estimates apply to natives of the English language.
Shakespeare actively used more than 30,000 words in his written works, and his entire vocabulary has been estimated at approximately 66,000 words.
Some accounts tally the English language consists of more than 600,000 words (source: The Unabridged Oxford English dictionary, and this includes root words and derivatives.
With over 600,000 words it's a shame we are only using 25,000. Paint your world in a more vivid picture, increase your vocabulary today.
