Did you know the word “hard” is the 402nd most popular word in the English language. Oddly enough the F-word is ranked 5598th and the S-word is 4499th.

WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.

[rhouck]

Am I reading it wrong or is it just based off BRITISH English sources... so it'd be the most common words used across the pond (rather than here)?

Although based on that, I am surprised the f-bomb isn't higher
