Weblog

Okay, so, today, I pretty much wasted my time. When I should have been spending the valuable minutes that God in His infinite wisdom bestowed upon me by looking for a job, I decided to utilise it for a much more… useless purpose.

I've been wondering about my speech patterns lately. I've just been wondering about what words I choose to use in my speech patterns. What better way to figure out what words that I've used than to look at all of my weblog posts and to count the frequency of the words that I've used. All that I would have to do is write a program to count each and every one; a project that would only take about four hours!

Yeah, I went ahead and did it. So, what were the results?

1. the — 3,934
2. I — 2,637
3. to — 2,616
4. that — 2,235
5. of — 1,884
6. a — 1,807
7. in — 1,329
8. and — 1,228
9. it — 1,010
10. is — 867

Honestly, I'm disappointed. I had hope that the list of top-ten words would contain cool words like schmuck or garden-variety… you know, the words that I abuse and am known by. So, if there's any word that I am abusing, it's the.
