Word count and more

Just to highlight a point in my previous post about how little words we use, I’ve analysed that same post and according to UsingEnglish.com, the following are the statistics:

Word count is 388.
Number of unique words used is 176.
Number of words in the dictionary, say a conservative 100,000
% of unique words used is 0.176%
Top 10 most used words: the, to, this, of, and, i, a, is, art, techniques

I’ve used less than 1% of the total words in the English language to write that article. Cool huh? :)
