Question

Can someone offer a suggestion on where to find a dictionary word list with frequency information?

Ideally, the source would be English words of the North American variety.

You could use Google Refine (http://code.google.com/p/google-refine/) to extract the data like they do in this tutorial video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45EnWK-fE9k. – Pat Mar 26 '11 at 15:52

I don't know about frequency information but the Open Office dictionaries would be a good place to look for LGPL word lists.
