WordCount is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonality. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.Yeah, that's what I meant to say... but in any case, it's really cool. You can also check out QueryCount which tracks the way people use WordCount. Very meta, but also cool. And if you are looking for more fun with WordCount, you can check out the WordCount Conspiracy which lists oddly ordered words in the list, such as "backstreet leotards" or " Legally, priests lacked financing." You get the idea. Have fun with it. (via Veer: The Skinny)
