35、, and if this estimate is correct, it brings us up to Shakespeares total. Of these, one-fifth, or about four thousand , are said to be of Anglo-Saxon origin, and three fifth, or about twelve thousand, are of Latin, Greek and French origin. This, of course, does not mean that our everyday conversatio

36、n consists chiefly of foreign words. According to one estimate, one fourth of all our spoken language consists of repetitions of the words “and, be, have , it ,of ,the, to, will, you, I, a, on, that and is”.

If we go into library usage, we find that words of the Bible are ninety-four percent native, ninety-one percent Shakespeares and seventy percent Samuel Johnsons (the famous Englis
