If you mean what is the most frequently used word in the English language, it's "the" The 5 most common words are:
the, of, to, and, a
If you meant popularity as a subjective thing, I have no idea.

The most POPULAR word is "POPULAR," of course!
Seriously, though, I'd have to say that "I" probably ranks right up there with the most widely used words in the English language! (See what "I" mean?)

Hre are the 100 most used words in English:
http://www.duboislc.org/EducationWatch/First100Words.html
"the" tops the list
However, the most popular words, according to the most number of times they were looked up, can be found at this site:
http://dictionary.reference.com/features/dictionaryalphabet2005.html
One word is listed for each letter of the alphabet - affect. benevolent, cynical, definitely, effect, fallacious, gregarious, hyperbole, irony, jaded, karma, love, metaphor, naive, oxymoron, paradox, quixotic, rhetoric, sex, theme, ubiquitious, virtue, whether, xenophobia, yield, zeal.
I have a feeling that the most popular of these is love.

I'm not joking. This is the coolest word to me at this moment. I can't write it on here...so here are the first and last letters of this four letter word F- - K. It's so versatle! It doesn't alwys mean what the word actually means. Everyone knows that, so I wonder y it's not used on tv even now.
