The British Council says "English is the main language of books, newspapers, airports and air-traffic control, international business and academic conferences, science, technology, diplomacy, sport, international competitions, pop music and advertising.\n\n     Over two-thirds of the world's scientists read in English. Three quarters of the world's mail is written in English. Eighty per cent of the world's electronically stored information is in English. Of the estimated forty million users of the Internet, some eighty per cent communicate in English, but this is expected to decrease to forty per cent as speakers of other languages get online."\n\nWhat our students say about English \n\n     "English is an easy language. There are no accents, the tenses of verbs are simplified and the adjectives are invariable", says Gustavo O. after three years studying it at school. Anaelle S. agrees with him but she finds the many different ways words are pronounced and the spelling difficult to cope with. Nicolas de F. finds it interesting and cool because through it he can understand many films and songs. "You need English to travel around the world - it's a language almost everybody understands - so it's easier to communicate with people from different cultures", says Daniela K. . According to Aldebaran D., "you must speak English if you want a good job especially if you want to work with computers".

To demonstrate the difficulty in counting words, over the centuries many scholars have attempted to count how many different words Shakespeare used in his corpus of work. The counts run anywhere from 16,000 to 30,000. It is thought that he contributed at least 2,000 new words to the English language. \n\nThe OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290,000 entries. Of course, there are lots of slang and regional words that are not included and the big dictionary omits many proper names, scientific and technical terms, and jargon as a matter of editorial policy (e.g., there are some 1.4 million named species of insect alone). All told, estimates of the total vocabulary of English start at around three million words and go up from there.\n\nOf these, about 200,000 words are in common use today. An educated person has a vocabulary of about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 in a week's conversation. (These estimates vary widely depending on who is doing the counting, so don't take them as absolute.)

The classical measure of words per minute uses an average 5 letter word + 1 space, that is 6 characters. the word "minutes" has 7 letters, so keeping a space between all words, the answer is (312/4) * (6/8) = 58.5, say 59.

Hey man listen here!! Mr. Cannibal is answering you!!\nWords in this nature are natural.\nWhen languages use words it means they discovered the words not invented!\n Now I must answer your question that English has the most words because this is very old language and also absorbed many words from other languages during occupying other countries.\nBut you don’t have to memorize all of them.\nAlso Happy Birthday to you.
