Dear Tina <br>
<br>
Depends a bit on what you mean, but the 2000th word in frequency order
is PROCEDURES, it appears 5,277 times in 100 million words, in under
30% of the texts. In other words about 53 times per million words. The
first 2000 word-forms take up 78% of the total number of tokens. <br>
<br>
Cheers -- Mike<br>
