The most frequentely occuring noun in English:

Earlier today, we asked what is the most frequently occurring noun in English, wel, the trick is that the most frequently used words are short 'function words' (such as "the,' "of", etc...) whose main purpose is to join other, longer words rather than determine the meaning of a sentence.

So what is really interesting is the frequency of 'content words'. According to the Oxford English Corpus, the most common noun is time, followed by person, and year, followed by way and day. Don't you feel a little bit more knowledgeable now?

I understand (as Bush might say) you may find the whole thing boring, but if you have nothing else to do here's more:
