<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Looks great – thanks. BTW, did I ever mention to you the 100 million word Corpus of American Soap Operas that I developed a year or so ago:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It might be useful data, to include with what you already have. A lot of this data from the soap opera corpus is included in the 100k word list that also includes data from COCA, COHA, and the BNC:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">We have collected subtitle-based word frequency norms for British English. As expected, they are a better predictor of the reaction times and accuracy levels in the British Lexicon Project than any other word frequency measure available.
We also for the first time use the frequency Zipf scale, which we hope will clear many existing misunderstandings about the word frequency effect.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">You find the frequency lists and a user-friendly website to select words here:
