Let's split the difference:

"crap" at 7880

"I" is 11

Strangely enough, "am" is 324.

But "is" is top 10.

Now, does the fact that I is 11 mean we're self important, or does "am" being down at 324 mitigate that?

I knew it!
Acrording to this article the ‘number of the beast’ is not “666” but in fact is ‘616’.

Now see what word is ranked 616.
Dave Sim was right.

I notice "stupendously" ranks in the bottom 15. I would have thought Stan Lee alone would have skewed the average for this word into the top 20.

BTW, this isn't "work safe" but check out their list of the words people search wordcount for most.

If the internet had a voice, I think it would be a delusional psychotic.

"Pip" is at 11659.

I'd like to think I had a little to do with that.

I have a six year old son, and I can assure you, to him it is currently the best word in the entire English language. He uses it as noun, adverb, adjective. His best friend is known affectionately as a "poopy headed poop"
