A really, really fun App

I am constantly amazed by all the new applications and programs that are being released on a daily basis.  I just discovered one from Google  that I am enjoying immensely:   Ngram Viewer

While the App is pretty intuitive and self-explanatory, a good explanation of the App can be found here.

You don’t have to use two words, which is the way the App comes up.  You can track  just one word, or more than two.  For instance, I tried “Paris,London,Madrid,Berlin,Belfast” and it worked just fine – London is far in the lead, followed by Paris and then up to about 1860 Madrid leads over Berlin, after which from then until now, Berlin took the third spot.  Belfast was last.

The App is not censored for so called “dirty words.”  In fact they can be really fun.  An one final thing:  remember that the App is case-sensitive.  Thus if you type in “paris” you won’t get squat.  Gotta use “Paris”.

Have fun…
