Neat article! When I was young, one of the schools I attended had a unique approach to punishment - you'd spend lunch and recess copying a page out of the OED letter for letter. No idea how many I ended up copying, but I was precocious. I wonder how many words my mental dictionary contains.
Apperently at least 43.
Hilarious and accurate
Interesting choice to omit "idiolect" as a replacement on any subsequent references to "mental dictionary."
