"Time" is English's most common noun

My friend Peter Saint-Andre's blog provides a link to this article from CNN showing the Oxford English Dictionary's Top 20 nouns in the English language. He points out, and I agree, that this says a lot about life here in the "Anglosphere." Here they are in order:

time, person, year, way, day, thing, man, world, life, hand, part, child, eye, woman, place, work, week, case, point, government, company, number, group, problem, fact.
