30150, also top 0.01%. (Which seems odd if 30325 is also judged as the top 0.01%; looking at the other scores and doing a quick Poisson distribution in my head it seems to me that 30325 should be nearer 0.001%.

Re: Vocabulary Size Test
You don't get to decide proper or improper use of English. First, you don't speak it. Second, you are not English. I am.not when it's being used improperly, such as "I love football" or "I love a good book"
I get to decide.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Then again, wurds is my bidness. (But I am not Shakespeare, and I understand there is some serious question as to whether even Shakespeare was Shakespeare. In any event, Midsummer Night's Dream is still my favorite rom-com and MacBeth my favorite ghost story.)Your English Vocabulary Size is:
30500
★★★ Top 0.01%HighLow
★★★ Top 0.01%
You are Shakespeare! You can even create new words that will expand the English dictionary.
What do I win?
