It was me who misunderstood/misinterpreted a sentence
on the cover of a dictionary. I am sorry.

On the other hand, if one includes all the scientific
and technical terms, especially in the fields of biology,
chemistry, medicine etc., I "guess" the vocabulary size
could be well bigger than one million. What's the opinion
of the readers of the group on this? Thanks.
