[Corpora-List] indication of high frequency

[Mike Scott]

Dear Tina

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.

Cheers -- Mike
