The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as "the act of estimating (something) as worthless", its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Jesse Helms, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The acceptability of the 33-letter adverbial form flocci­nauci­nihili­pilificastically is subject to controversy. The longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, an invented word supposed to refer to a lung disease.

To demonstrate the difficulty in counting words, over the centuries many scholars have attempted to count how many different words Shakespeare used in his corpus of work. The counts run anywhere from 16,000 to 30,000. It is thought that he contributed at least 2,000 new words to the English language. \n\nThe OED2, the largest English-language dictionary, contains some 290,000 entries. Of course, there are lots of slang and regional words that are not included and the big dictionary omits many proper names, scientific and technical terms, and jargon as a matter of editorial policy (e.g., there are some 1.4 million named species of insect alone). All told, estimates of the total vocabulary of English start at around three million words and go up from there.\n\nOf these, about 200,000 words are in common use today. An educated person has a vocabulary of about 20,000 words and uses about 2,000 in a week's conversation. (These estimates vary widely depending on who is doing the counting, so don't take them as absolute.)

It apparently is not an actual dictionary word, but from references to it I see it as a tally or count. Most words are derived from latin, I could bet it would be and probably be right but i'm not saying its completely undoubtable.

There had been several dictionaries written in Latin, English, French and Italian prior to Johnson. Benjamin Martin's Lingua Britannica Reformata (1749) and Ainsworth's Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (1737) are both significant, in that they define entries in separate senses, or aspects of the word. In English (among others) John Cowell's Interpreter, a law dictionary, was published in 1607, Edward Phillips' The new world of English words came out in 1658 and a dictionary of 40,000 words had been prepared in 1721 by Nathan Bailey, though none was as comprehensive in breadth or style as Johnson's.

I'm not sure of the number but I know words like acicular and pangolin and a vevy of others I would never get a chance to use in a sentence, ever.  When ever I am bored, I open up a dictionary and randomly browse through for words I don't already know. This had made me verbose and quite sesquipedalian, which I find copacetic and that's no fanfaronade.

It's hard to count them because there are possible variations of words that are not recorded. A safe estimate would be between 40,000 and 100,000, but basic communication is possible with 6,000 and academic communication with 17,000.
