- mattmanser 10y agoIt's a common word? Rabbit warren. Loads of little hidiholes of separate content that are connected by a larger network.

- richmarr 10y agoI was a little surprised by this so looked up how common a word it is. This Google dataset puts it as the 5,109th most frequent word, between cached and slip https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english/blob/master/google-10000-english-usa.txt https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english/blob/ma... This one from the British National Corpus puts it 7,702nd between "pro" and "frontier" http://www.wordcount.org/main.php http://www.wordcount.org/main.php
