"The Global Language Monitor announced that the English language had crossed the 1,000,000-word threshold on June 10, 2009.[79] The announcement was met with strong scepticism by linguists and lexicographers,[80] though a number of non-specialist reports[81][82] accepted the figure uncritically."
See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Number_of_words_in_English>
"The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words."
