16,000 for both men and women. See below. Matthias R. Mehl,1* Simine Vazire,2 Nairán Ramírez-Esparza,3 Richard B. Slatcher,3 James W. Pennebaker3 Women are generally assumed to be more talkative than men. Data were analyzed from 396 participants who wore a voice recorder that sampled ambient sounds for several days. Participants' daily word use was extrapolated from the number of recorded words. Women and men both spoke about 16,000 words per day.

About 30-50, depending on how often you take a breath.
the average number of words in most of my sentences is 7.
That number does not exist since numbers go on infinitely.
Average is 2-3 words a second, so around 140 words.
I think it was 65
Good question... It's definitely not "number of heartbeats", "number of times blinked", "number of breaths taken"... Perhaps it's "number of words spoken" ? Or possibly "the number of times swallowed during the day".
The average person uses 5000 to 15000 spoken words a day, but about 45% of them are the same words repeated. You could easily use 500 words in a single conversation.

because you've spoken bad words. and that was rude.
"Word" is not a unit of time. The same number of words takes different amounts of time to be spoken by different people, and even to be spoken by the same person if he's rested or tired, interested in the words or not, etc.
