This is really helpful - but a word of warning: these lists are obviously based on print sources (likely newspapers), not on spoken language. Still helpful but the distribution will probably be biased on the side of formal language. Thanks for the easy links!!!! :-)
Very true, and it's a problem with most frequency lists. Frequency lists that include spoken speech are much rarer because it's a heckuva lot harder to get speech into lists; you need to have some way to get the spoken word put into a database, which can be quite a hassle whether you're recording, using speech recognition software, or just writing it down.
