After about two weeks of putting off my curiosity, I finally subjected my conversations with my wife to a word-frequency analysis, courtesy of Wordle, who produced the shiny image below. To explain the source matter:
-The source was 210kb of Jabber (G-Talk) logs from May 18 2009 through to December 4 2009. In order words a little shy of seven months of talking.
- Emails and logs from other sources (Yahoo, Facebook, AIM) were all excluded as they are essentially negligible.
-Overly common words, such as our own names, were stripped out.
