The frequency number isn't the word count, it's the target word count divided by the total word count. It's all in le-5 space. There are a lot of data points going into that number.
I scraped all of the movies scripts from the imsdb website and calculated the word frequency of words such as "pork", "beef", "bacon", "chicken", "steak", etc.
