I was playing with this the other day. Is very neat! At first its like, huh? But explore, and you'll see the neat connectedness it conveys. Also neat that you can have it show pictures for each catagory by zooming in.

Thats pretty cool.

When I read the title, I thought "ooh, wouldnt it be neat to have a text editor that colored the different parts of speech different colors the way syntax editors do for programming?" It would be a big help for people who get Their, There and They're confused. The only problem is that too many words can be used for different things and a lot of it is context, which would make it pretty tough for a program to sort out.

What an amazing project!

Another fun and interesting site: http://www.wordcount.org/main.php

I try to get the highest number possible. Yes, this indicates my absolute descent into abject geekdom. :)
