"america ensure oil opportunity"

This website www.wordcount.org is kind of neat, for those interested in lexicology. They have over 80,000 words ordered by their frequency of use (an explanation is available at the website).

Here's the interesting thing I found and verified when reading the "about" page: words 992-995 are "america ensure oil opportunity."

Just a coincidence, naturally, but an interesting one.

that it's a coincidence, that is. How do they count the words?

This page also explains that God and war are relatively close (war is 304, God is 376).
