> And yet I know words such as anyone who had to do their SAT or GRE would have probably crammed these 500 or 1000 word lists. it's much less common to have to learn words for bread or bread rolls. if you complicate things by putting stuff between bread or bread rolls then you have yet another massive list of words like baps, cobs, rolls, subs, butties, sarnies, sangers, sliders, stotties, or and other names for sammies. these words are so region-specific that English speakers around the world don't see 99% of these words.
