	"Port" and "ease" (before "eat"??) both strike me as very strange. I wonder how much this is due to print vs. spoken usage.

	GeoExpert:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT	18 points
	I looked for words on the page, but it was not as helpful as I thought it would be.

	Amazing how many you can get with just the TV on in the background.

	River, really? Speaking of, why is river on there and really isn't? Is really counted as a form of real?

	Golden:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 07:59 GMT	15 points
	no please :( AND no sporcle either, which demonstrates that we really need to drop that into everyday conversation more often.

	LaTriviata:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 08:09 GMT	3 points
	Is rock really more common than rather?

	OscilatingGibbon:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 10:16 GMT	17 points
	If you listen to my teenage daughter, 'like' is DEFINITELY the most said word beginning with 'L' :-D

	anthraxjohnson:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 11:14 GMT	7 points
	I don't think both 'came' and 'come' should be answers. I seem to remember the most common English words quiz lumped all forms of each verb together (e.g. 'be' stood for 'is', 'has', etc).

	rkh5donkey:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 11:30 GMT	7 points
	@anthraxjohnson: agreed. Same goes for "said" and "say". If you're going to make that distinction, why not count "says" and "saying" separately, too? The link listed as a source has no description of its methodology or how its data was collected. I would question its accuracy.

	mybeaglebelle:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 11:59 GMT	9 points
	I think they, like, made a mistake... I'm pretty sure that, like "like" is, like the most used word in, like, the English language.

	mybeaglebelle:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 11:59 GMT	8 points
	No bonus for "Sporcle?"

	Beans601:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 13:04 GMT	13 points
	"Love" didn't make the list! How sad :(

	Tir_McDohl:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 13:48 GMT	1 point
	It felt strange how blank my mind went here, and surprisingly I still ended up in the 92th percentile.

	Lil2:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 13:57 GMT	4 points
	you know your brain is working against you when all you can think of is words like 'ought.' also when you try the word 'rest,' as in a break, and directly after that try the word 'rest,' as in the remainder.

	It's a good thing they didn't go with the original website name 'Quxzle"

	csl:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 16:03 GMT	6 points
	Getting a quiz like this published seems to be the equivalent of getting on TV by holding up a sign whose letters spell out "ESPN." Not that that's a bad thing (well, at least the game's not).

	dougmartin05:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT	7 points
	You didn't research this closely enough. You at least missed the word "long", which according to your source, should be between like and look. I didn't check all the letters, but that's definitely one mistake
