WordNet(JWI MIT) : How to find High Frequency words list?

Question

Using JWI MIT interface libraries http://projects.csail.mit.edu/jwi/ , how can I find the list of most frequently used English words in daily life from WordNet api (http://wordnet.princeton.edu/)? Is there any way I can accomplish this if API initially does not provide this?

Because initially API does not filter words on a level.

WordNet comes with usage word counts, but the man page describes them as unreliable and not updated since 2001: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/man/cntlist.5WN.html

The answer to a similar question also points out how the data is not very useful: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12376620/841830

I realize this is not answering your question, but I think you should regard WordNet as not having any word usage count information, and instead get that information from a different source. (If you want word usage counts for a particular corpus, not generally, that should be its own question, but basically WordNet is not the tool for that job.)
