Re: requests for corpora

I did try to search for word frequency lists, but did not find anything,
because I did not know what words to use in the search.

To count myself is something I expect to learn, soon.

The replies to my request for pointers brought the useful advice: not to
expect the first 5,000 words in a list to be unbiased. I would not have
received such advice from a concordance program.

The idea of a FAQ is good. It would keep some of us from annoying each other.

I would have found a corpora FAQ in one of my searches.
