777. Seven hundreds seven tens and seven, or seven hundreds three score and seventeen. Does that have some significance? Yesterday that was the number of daily blogs I have written. Have you read them all? How many words is that? Were there ten new words in each blog? That could give over seven thousand new words. Can you remember any of them at all? How many words do we need to know to be fluent - to speak without hesitation? Native speakers of a language know fifteen thousand to twenty thousand word families (lemmas). We have a long way to travel together! Meanwhile I traveled myself! How deep the stream is! How lovely to see new pussy willow catkins! There are daffodils growing by the road. How pretty they are! The cauliflowers on the airfield are not so beautiful.
