| Jul 4, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | user 66974 | @Mitch - I agree, but I think the informative part is where they say "used occasionally". | |
| Jul 4, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Mitch | @user110518 'top 30000' isn't very informative given that most people's vocabularies have less than that. | |
