That's unlikely. Even if that were the case, no one could figure 'the frequency' out.

I think "spelling.txt" will be reprocessed by the tool.

For the same set of data, if the performance differs significantly or even does not work
due to the user's input order, the implementation of the tool itself must be problematic.

So our ranking of "spelling.txt" is how to make it easy to see.

I don't know if it's right. Pure logical reasoning.
