For a work project, I've ended up searching for common names and words. Long story that I can't tell you about. But rather fascinating. For instance, the top 25 nouns in English:
1 time
2 person
3 year
4 way
5 day
6 thing
7 man
8 world
9 life
10 hand
11 part
12 child
13 eye
14 woman
15 place
16 work
17 week
18 case
19 point
20 government
21 company
22 number
23 group
24 problem
25 fact
Interesting that man comes before child which comes before woman. And that time is #1. Another interesting list is top surnames based on country. As Bob noted, "addicting."
