Via Mick, now back from his hols, WordCount:
WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness... [It] was designed with a minimalist aesthetic, to let the information speak for itself. The interface is clean, basic and intuitive.From WordCount you can learn that the word 'norm' comes in at 7055, and the word 'geek' at 66213. The word ranked in 25th place is 'but', and in 62nd place you'll find 'its'. You'll find 'find' in 198th spot and you'll spot 'spot' at 2081. Enough already. Or: he went mad and shot himself because he couldn't say 'espy "espy"' - 'espy' not being in the WordCount archive.
