Measuring My Vocabulary

Recently, I saw this site which measures rappers vocabularies and compares them to Shakespeare and Moby Dick. It does so by counting unique words in a 35,000 word sample.

(Aside: There is a implicit understanding that more unique words is better. I'm not sure that I agree with the statement on its own. However, I of course wanted a bigger number than Shakespeare.)

Here are some notable benchmarks:

Moby Dick: 6,022
Wu-Tang Clan: 5,895
Outkast: 5,212
Shakespeare: 5,170
Beastie Boys: 5,090
Jay-Z: 4,506
Eminem: 4,494
Kayne West: 3,982
Snoop Dogg: 3,974
DMX: 3,214

So of course, I was curious how I measured up. I took the first 35,000 words from Autopilot.

So that shows that I've used more unique words than Beastie Boys and Shakespeare but not Moby Dick or Wu-Tang.
