Are there any lexicographers out there? I believe that's the correct term.
I need to find a list of the most commonly used English words in WRITTEN
TEXT (not oral useage). The most common 8000 would do nicely, to coin a
phrase. Note no smiley here, I'm serious about the 8000, but I suspect
that after the first few hundred most common, there's not much to choose
between them. Also in the same vein, I need the most common English word
endings, preferably ranked in order of probability.
Any pointers greatfully welcomed.
