I thought the last sentence was just a cheap shot from a hack journalist, but the contents are very interesting, Bingley. We are sure to see this tool being refined for use in corpus linguistics studies over the next few years.

and hey, we could even use it around here to compare Dickens' Great Ekspectorations with, say legal quibbling found in other minor works...

Spunds as though battle lines are being drawn. Names being mocked. Bad form.

We're talking about a different Spector, Bill. One Phil, as it happens. Do try to keep up!

Indeed, you were, Kiwi. You were talking about P.Spector, not K.Spector.
But dr. bill is quite right: others specified K.Spector. Count 6 and 7 posts above.
