the top 100 most commonly used words in English.
***
There was a time when people really had a way with words.
They said and did whatever they could, so that each little thing
would then be made good and clear, both at home and all over the world.
They knew that it was very important to use a few short words,
because most of the long ones were too hard for them.
The only other thing about words is the number of school children
who are called names even if they know how to say something right,
but can't find a way to use it in a sentence.
By the way, many more families have been after their children to like school.
Well, how about you?
