js查找一篇英文文章中出现频率最高的单词

下面这个函数是js查找一篇英文文章中出现频率最高的单词(由26个英文字母大小写构成)，输出该单词及出现次数，不区分大小写，主要是正则的运用：

function counts(article){

    article = article.trim().toUpperCase();

    var array = article.match(/[A-z]+/g);

    article = " "+array.join("  ")+" ";

    var max = 0,word,num = 0,maxword="";

    for(var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {        

        word = new RegExp(" "+array[i]+" ",'g');

    num = article.match(word).length;

    if(num>max){

        max=num;

        maxword = array[i];

    }

   }

   console.log(maxword+" "+max);

}

counts("Age has reached the end of the beginning of a word. May be guilty in his seems to passing a lot of different life became the appearance of the same day;");
