Vocabularies of forum-goers

[Gabu]

Oh noes, you forgot about me Gabu, I'm so hurt, look, I shall even use the dreaded frowny face:


 
It would also be rather interesting for me, if possible, to compare smiley use.  For instance, which have I used more: , , , or ?

And where would they rank if we put them in?

Hmmn.

Actually, I didn't forget about you, but I got too engrossed in a game of Sim City 4 to post it.

Sorry about that.

I'll be starting everyone else now.  I could have sworn that I did Sam Spade, but I guess not, so he gets first dibs.

[Gabu]

This is great Gabu!

One idea would be to try and correlate number of posts with number of words used and create a function that models that. It would probably look something like natural log!

That sounds about right.

...hmmm, now I'm interested.   I may do that sometime later.

[Gabu]

Sam's run is still running, but the two after him who had much smaller post counts are done.

Sooooooooooo...

I said some variant of Democrat more than I said some variant of Republican.

By a whopping 19 times.

I think that is a statistical tie.

Ok, Gabu.... Let me see how illiterate I am when I am on the forum.  I am a horrible typer hence the brevity of my posts.  However,   I am making an effort to expand upon my brief posts.  Thanks in advance:)

For being a liberal, the first two are kinda funny.  I suppose they were likely said in a bad tone, however.

Interesting...I thought I was a more positive poster than that.

I apologize if this has been done already, but I'm not goign to read these last 10 pages of the thread...

Can you do John Engle's, Gabu? 

[Gabu]

Okay, I started both Patrick's and John's run.

endores is my favorite John word and 1488 words. That's it?

[Gabu]

Yep, he apparently did not have a very diverse vocabulary, at least in what he presented to us.

[minionofmidas]

Where is Angus?

[JohnFKennedy]

Where is Angus?

^^ Why do I get the feeling that angus' score will put us all to shame?

[Peter]

I would be much obliged if you would do mine, Gabu.

I have a number of requests for specific requests; If its too time consuming, don't bother.

Souter, Romer, Lawrence, Griswold, Furman, substantive, process, fourteenth, Oxford, Widdecombe, Owen (I don't know if you can exempt 4 letter words from auto-disposal, so no worries if you cannot)

Hmm, that's a pity. But, I have faith, you might become a libertarian yet.

[Giant Saguaro]

Saw mine - thaks for running it, Gabu.

I just thought to request a run on John's but saw someone already requested it and it's there. Good stuff.

[Huckleberry Finn]

Can you do mine? I'm especially interested how many times I have said Finland.

Bump.  Could Gabu do me again?  I'm curious to see how much has changed.
