The African Grey Parrot is one of the most intelligent bird species.
These remarkable parrots can learn up to 1,000 different words and are experts
at mimicking human speech and other sounds. In fact, their emotional and
mental capacity is comparable to that of 5-year-old children!

Average person knows an amazing amount of words

The thread title should be 'Average person knows an amazing number of words'

'Amount' is used for a quantity: 'an amount of money, sand, time', etc. 'Number' is used when the quantity may be counted: 'a number of dollars, grains of sand, years', etc.

Good catch, but you missed something.

It should really be "The average person knows an amazing number of words."

I would have guessed a few thousand words.

I believe you missed his wit, as your interpretation was the understated meaning of his dialogue.
He was being dry in his speech in an attempt to inject humor into a boring treatise on the topic
of the English language.

And so, without further ado, allow me to prove my hypothosis concerning the tedious nature of
the English language.

Don't worry. I didn't take him at his word.

Yes, hard to pronounce Indian words if it is not your language
but what an idiot going on stage with zero preparation and insulting India
with such lack of respect


All the lazy fool had to do was google such names as


(209) How To Say Swami Vivekananda - YouTube

then have it spelled out phonetically on the script, someone else wrote, he was reading from

Go to 30 second mark and have a laff



As the Swami Vivekenanda said

My brother bought an African Grey when he was in the merchant navy and his route took him down the coast of Africa. Somebody on shore was selling them for a couple of dollars. He brought the poor bird back to England and she became family. Always felt sad for her because they live in flocks. Not stuck in some apartment in England. Smart and sociable and affectionate. I would agree that her EQ was like a 5 year old child. Loved that bird.
