Amazing

Footnote: According to the Oxford English Dictionary (second edition) there are 171,476 English words in current use of which about one seventh are verbs. This means that there are about 25,000 English verbs in current use. As far as I know, all English verbs can have an -ing form. Many nouns of course also end in -ing. This thread now has 1675 posts, with possible duplicate offerings. The first post was early in March of this year, which is about 200 posts a month or 70 a day - by my weak mathematics. You know, if we're really systematic and worked in teams, we could probably cover the whole gamut of -ing words, in a relatively short time.

Would we include obsolete words??? Would we include words found in Australian,

American, Canadian dictionaries?

You keep saying

You got something for me

Something you call love

But confess

Youve been messing

Where you shouldnt have been messin

And now someone else

Is getting all your best

These boots are made for walking

And thats just what theyll do

And one of these days these boots

Are gonna walk all over you

You keep lying

When you oughta be truthing

You keep losing

When you oughta not bet

You keep sameing

When you oughta be changing

Now, whats right is right

But you aint been right yet

My boots are made for walking

And thats just what theyll do

One of these days these boots

Are gonna walk all over you

You keep playing

When you shouldnt be playing

You keep thinking

Youll never get burned

I just found me

A brand new box of matches

And what he knows now

You aint got time to learn

These boots are made for walking

And thats just what theyll do

One of these days these boots

Are gonna walk all over you
