Mine does not even reach 10K.
Although the native-speakers 18+ students I deal with seem not to know at least half of my vocabulary :)

True, but who said that their vocabulary is a better point of reference than mine?

Everybody who speaks the language defines it. Look at Hebrew.

Wow, are you serious? Respect.
Mine was around 24K - 30th percentile!!! :) I don't really believe it, because my verbal GRE percentile was in the 80s. The last column on the second page looked absurd. :) I'll have to do this to Jay.

Frankly, I expected better, since I read a lot and my verbal GMAT was in the top 1% (albeit almost 20 years ago).
