you must mean words overall, (i.e. including "and", "the"...) not just words that might need changing?
Because otherwise I'd love to see where you got the 1% from. having lived a significant time in the US and in two different accent areas of England, I find that figure hard to believe. Or in other words, I call BS on your stats.
