A Reference Document

I don't know if anyone else will have any use for
this, but I was trying to research words ending in
English to discover what suffixes and endings are
common and which ones are rare.

Anyway, I grabbed about 8200 words out of a pile of
documents I had that includes movie screenplays,
Internet news stories, and a couple of novels.  Then I
sorted the words into ascending sequence by the FINAL
letters.

You can see the list here:

               music
            dramatic
           automatic
             lunatic
          democratic
              hectic
           antarctic
          alphabetic
...

Caution, this corpus probably contains a lot of slang
and off-color words being that it includes words from
several screen plays, not all of which were rated G.
