- josefresco 2mo agoNot as lucky as the guy seeing the Mentos/Soda trick for the first time!
- Mossly 2mo agoThis inspired me to check lol. Brysbaert et al. (2019) collected word prevalence norms (the share of people who report knowing each word) for ~62K English lemmas from ~220K participants. fable: 99/100 sonnet: 97/100 haiku: 91/100 opus: 89/100 So while these terms are almost universally known, opus is indeed the least known of the four. And I guess this only measures whether a person knows a word, not whether they know an opus is longer than a sonnet! Personally I only inferred that based on the related term 'magnum opus.'
