'medau' is used more than 'advertisement'? crazy!

Of course, once you get out of the top 100 its all highly subjective.Take a look around the word 'forums' for example.It's surrounded by words that I'd never use.

The numbers are a rank, not a frequency, so, the lower the number, the higher the usage of the word...

yes.. I was quite aware of that. Medau has a lower number than advertisement

Obviously, the region in which this survey was conducted has a bearing on its results. I can't imagine the word 'vinny' being used much,except by British soccer fans.'Medau' is a current fad in Britain too.

Compare that with, say, "Atkins" - a similar subject much more prominent in most of the world,and it becomes fairly obvious that this survey is not universally truthful.

huh?
Did you just contradict your self?!?!? wtf?

Frequency is how many times it has occurs, so the higher the usuage of the word is 'frequency', but you just said it's a rank, not a frequency, but then went on to say "the lower the number, the more it's used", which is frequency..

did I get that right? Or am I going insane?!?!


Other than that, that's an interesting lil' flash thing

HAha, the word "Fuck" has a higher tank than "Propose" :D

:iceslolan

yep, you're going insane.

The first word is "the", and it has a low rank. That means it is common.. The higher the number on that site, the less it is used. I'm randomly guessing unused words and insightful got me 56447 :)
