Unreleased .CO Dictionary Words File Containing 232,553 records

[cballou]

I have a MySQL db import file (SQL), Excel, and CSV file formats containing 232,553 available .CO dictionary words, firstnames, surnames, and organization names.

I'd love to hear how much you guys think such a database is worth. It was generated just yesterday, so it's as fresh as it gets.

Once I get a feeling for estimated value from everyone, I'll try and bulk sell the list at once to interested parties so that it's a fair game crap shoot for searching the list.

If anybody is interested in sole control of the list, name your price

I'm not using it, but I do have direct contact with the CEO of go.co and they have potential plans for it unless you guys stop me in my tracks

The number of entries in this file just about exceeds the number of dictionary words in the Oxford dictionary. This is due to the fact it does contain additional domains along the lines of firstnames, surnames, organizational names, etc.

The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of exclamations, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. And these figures don't take account of entries with senses for different word classes (such as noun and adjective).

This suggests that there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the OED, or words not yet added to the published dictionary, of which perhaps 20 per cent are no longer in current use. If distinct senses were counted, the total would probably approach three quarters of a million.
