I'd bet money that there'll be people who will be saying, "Oh wow, a million words now--cool!", and never stop to think, as Mr. Sheidlower points out, that all you have to do is start counting, and lo and behold: you'll have a million in no time!



And if you don't stop to sleep or chit chat "counting to one million in no time" can be lo-ed and beheld in just 12 days.

Of course counting to a million down south takes a bit longer, what with our propensity to dabble and drawl and chit chat.
