Note: Some words fall into more than one part of speech category; e.g., fun is both a noun and an adjective, charm is both a noun and a verb, and loved is both a verb and an adjective. Each word was counted in each part of speech category to which it is used. Consequently, the sum of the adjectives, nouns, and verbs exceeds the total word count.
