r/learnprogramming on Reddit: I would like to find a list of english words that are colloquially understood to be english words
April 26, 2024 -
I thought an english corpus would suit my needs so I found one with 500k words. Turns out most of them are literal gibberish that no average person would discern as being english.
Is anyone aware of what I seek? Ideally it would be a text file where each word is on its own line.

One idea is that you could download a list of word frequencies - that has both the word, and how common it is. Here's one: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/rtatman/english-word-frequency I found "ms" on line 1176, "chem" on like 7039, and "yay" on line 14122. So those are indeed common words. You could go down the list and stop when it starts looking like gibberish to you. Maybe you'd be happier with the top 50k words or top 100k words. Keep in mind that this is very subjective. If you get past 200,000, a lot of words do look like gibberish or really obscure words that nobody ever uses, but it really depends on where you live and what you do. My friend who's a doctor uses "wnl" all the time (meaning "within normal limits") but it's number 256,681.

Additional comment, I am familiar with the NLTK library on python but (probably due to my own fault) can not find any of their corpus matching these requirements? The words corpus from NLTK for example can not identify 'yay' or titles like 'ms', or contractions like you're, short hands like chem
