In order to complete a programming project of mine, I needed a very large list of English words. What better source to use than an actual dictionary? I wrote a small script to scrape the dictionary and determine how many words there were and their respective part of speech.
| Part of Speech | Quantity |
|---|---|
| any | 54614 |
| adjectives | 14608 |
| adverbs | 3138 |
| nouns | 30906 |
| verbs | 4938 |
