Well I've casually had my eyes peeled for a frequency list for a few
decades now and haven't come across one, that Buzan was the closest I
came across.
You seem to know what you're talking about in this regard, so if you do
have a frequency list resource, spill.
Otherwise, I think you're saying search for 'Words cut for speed in the
*Computer age* by Professor Abe Citron', which I will.
