i wonder if the same 12 words apply to all english speaking countries or just the US. it’s hard to imagine that cultural differences wouldn’t alter the results.

i also wonder what the 13th word was.

interesting article though. i’ll memorise the list, adjust my vocab accordingly, and report back if my powers of persuasion improve…

Good question re: whether different countries would make a difference. I’m with you… I suspect not. I thought the discussionr re: Free and Safety was interesting too!
