@pkamb fixed. thanks

@furnivall

I'm fairly sure that you mean to have "not" in there instead of one of the versions of "hot". I'm guessing it's an OCR issue. "not" is far too common a word to be left out...

What's the source for this list? It's different from many of the others. For example the word 'because' usually shows up in the top 100, but is absent here.

This has to be wrong. How can "word" be #31, above "but", "some", "can" etc?

I don’t think they’re ordered in any particular way…

How was this list generated? I'm awfully skeptical that "molecule" and "quotient" are among the thousand most common English words?

@LinuxRocks2000

Thanks for compiling this

@compscitwilight

is there a list like this in a JSON format anywhere?

Y'all, that question was asked three years ago and has already been answered. I promise the person who asked it doesn't need to be reminded of it 🙂

To be honest, I raised the issue 7(!) years ago and I guess it was fixed in 2019
