that would make millions of words

after that , umm ... hard to say may be something else other than IDNs
LOL.

Yes it was a long-term question. But from I understand, there are many ways to write the same word, for example isn't there 99 ways to write "god" (apparently the 100th is in the Quran somewhere) - but surely not all of those 99 are used, there must be extremes of popular and not very common.

If you apply this same logic to all 750k words, maybe the common words will run out not too far into the future - it could be as little as 20-30 years!!

I get your point. thanks.
