It's just like English, not everyone will be able to learn every single word of the language. I
can't quantify how many English words I know, but I know more than enough to read a newspaper,
academic paper, and writing a high level essay in university. So what is my point? I think the
number of characters or words a person needs to know depends on what their objective is.
