I think less common "words" are likely to actually not be words, just
misspellings of other words, and thus harder for the user to remember. More
cruft to ignore/eliminate. The sources for the corpus being (in my case)
public mailing lists or (in Chris's case) D&D chatter, the likelihood of
misspellings is pretty high.
