Japanese are intelligent and hard-working, yet all those years of English lessons don't seem to stick. There's something wrong with the methods used, but for some reason there is no progress.
I'd suggest that you stop trying to learn English like they taught you in school and read comics and novels instead.

English has a lot of redundant words. Mainly because it took so many from other languages, and because some words were class based. Higher classes used a word and lower classes had a seperate word for it.

None of them are necessary but they're sometimes useful. Having a large functional vocabulary makes you come off as smart. It's a bit like good looks, good sense in clothing or a pleasant voice. People can't help but get the impression that you're intelligent if you use language well.

a lot of the more complex words on the test are outdated/out of use.
For example one of the words is raiment (clothing). I looked it up in google books and outside of some very obscure literature it almost exclusively is found in two passages in some translations of the bible. to know such a word implies a high degree of luck because you could even read 5 different translations of the bible and not run into that word, it says nothing about your level of literacy.

Nobody will ever encounter half the words on the second page so this is a completely pointless test. When was the last time in the past 500 years anyone referred to a stingy cunt as "parsimonious"? This doesn't prove intelligence just how much of an english major, linguist or a spastic you are

I'm not sure how useful that second page is though. It lists a bunch of archaic/poindexter words when most people with big vocabularies know career jargon.
Not bad I would say
>>58702148

m8 it literally just tests how many words you know, not intelligence. don't get pissy just because you didn't know every single word.
>>58702757
I know what archaic means, and that's my exact point. For something to be archaic means that it has fallen out of common use, and therefore is not something that one could reasonably expect to run across in modern contexts.
>>58702997
'Appearing in a period piece or video game evoking old times' is not what 'common use' means. That is in fact what archaic means. Obviously people still have to know what the word itself means or the effect is lost.
>>58702947
i answered it honestly but knowing specific words is not equal to knowing that much words. i think it must be more close to 5-6k most.
hell i don't think i know 15k words in turkish.
>>58702596
>Elizabethan period or older
>Not archaic
Still not uncommon though
>>58703040
I disagree. For something to be archaic it likely is something that one would need to look up to understand.
For example OED also lists yclept as an archaic word. a simply google search for it indicates that it is a marginally forgotten word.
>>58703232
just because something is old doesn't make it archaic. "water" is an ancient word, but it is not archaic.
Archaic implies that it is not used in common parlance anymore.
