The most commonly used words in my vocabulary

I just received a link that is being circulated on Facebook in their formats that picks out the most commonly used words in your vocabulary from your postings there. It sends them to you in a scrambled rather random heap rather than listed from the most used to the least. It seems to avoid obvious words like the, I or and.
My spaghetti soup of words included in no set order;
Me, pub, computer, thanks, write, martial, burlesque, writing, editor, stats, charity, stall, going, easy, authors, time, past, wasn’t, ouch, episodes, apparently, happened, weekend, film, real, arts, actually, labour, best, much, great, treasure, story, minutes, village, and Manchester.
A few I can believe; Manchester and burlesque are subjects I use a lot but I don’t refer to stats that often. That suggests it may just check a few pages rather than my entire ten year plus Facebook input.
I guess I need to write aardvark and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlll and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch more often. For those who don’t know the big word there is a real village in Wales.

I always want to try to be articulate but I always end up using simple and basic English. On the bright side, At least I am not like this girl I know who always to F-bombs every minute.

that one seems safe enough but some links on Facebook can be dodgy

@arthurchappell - Funny stuff Arthur, though my favorite bit is that you used 'aardvark' as a tag. That will drag in the aardvark fans for sure.

I feel bad for any child who had to learn to write that as their town name

I saw a link to this yesterday. I haven't decided whether to use it or not.
