emphasis mine.CNN wrote:Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire.
Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base.
"I say a lot of things -- millions of words a day -- so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she said.
Millions of words a day?
Here is the math Hillary…let’s call “millions” an even 2 million. At 100 to 120, words a minute, (we’ll apply the female factor and raise that to 140 wpm.) and do the math, that’s something like 23 words a SECOND, nonstop for 24 hours. This scares me.Wiki wrote:Word counts may also be important for spoken pieces. Formal speaking in English is usually around 100 to 120 words per minute; thus, for example, an eight-minute speech would contain roughly 800 to 960 words.
Another potential president who did better in speech class than in math class. I wonder if she puts an “e” on the end of potato.
