Do we really want letter frequencies in written text, or just
in a word list? In scrabble, you aren't writing sentences. You
are just writing words. If you take letter frequencies in any
single person's text, you are getting the frequencies of words
that person happens to think of most often. If you do it to the
whole dictionary, then you get the frequencies of letters in
the common vocabulary.
