Duplicates
editThis is a great list but be aware that there are duplicates.
For example 'before' and 'close' appears 3 times. Out of 1100 words there are 992 unique words on the list.
There are 100 words duplicated 2 or more times. For my needs, I copied the list and removed the duplicates. It is still an awesome list. Many other lists had names included. Scanning this list I don't see names. 108.54.243.51 (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
