I have the memory that there is a list somewhere of the 3000 (?) most common words in English, which can be used by exclusion to measure the use of 'rare' words. Can someone point me to that list? Even better, is there software available to scan a passage and compute the number of common vs. rare wrods?  Many thanks.
Philip Dale
