The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective).

This is an annoying thread.

Jaymc, are a "chimp confetti-hunter" or a "chimp-confetti hunter?" If the former, wow, you type really well, for a chimp: why don't you just order some confetti off of the internet? If the latter, that's really evil of you to blow all those chimps to bits.
