Vocabulary is a good measure of intelligence
It's also a good measure of how much do you read (or how much have you read as a child). People who read books -- lots and LOTS of books -- have a very good vocabulary. People who don't, don't. There is certainly a correlation, but vocabulary is still just a proxy for intelligence, maybe not a good proxy for math people or in the 'net age.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
