My first degree is in Linguistics, and this might be the first study in history that shows men and women speaking about the same number of words / day.

There must be dozens of studies that show that women use significantly more words than men in daily conversation.

What's interesting is that women not only talk more, but have a larger vocabulary than men, particular in the usage of adjectives.
