Wordcount.org

Here's a fun web site. WordCount is as much about design as it is words. It catalogs the 86,800 most frequently used English words (according to the Britsh National Corpus).

Go to the website, start WordCount, enter a word, and then watch as the program homes in of the word and its count.

The number one word used in the English language? "The."

The number one word that people look up on WordCount? "Sex." (How predictable is that?)
