Based on 3000 Most Commonly Used Words in the English Language (USA)
Discussion of the 3000 Words List
This is a list of the 3000 most commonly used words in American newspapers and popular magazines. We compiled this list by taking forty newspapers and magazines and simply sorting the words and then counting the frequency of the words.[...] Actually there are 2126 words listed. [...] removed words : (1) simply plurals of words [...] (2) some but not all simple regular past tense words (3) the regular words duplicated in the "ing" suffix. For example "spell" is there but [not] "spelling" and "spelled".

Only 2125 words, but I added in the indefinite article in the form 'a' ('an' was already listed)
