[Hi! Glad to approximately meet you! -bb]

I'm approximately thrilled!

Alas I cannot tell you what this is because I don't have a New York Times account, and their snotty insistence on having a real account to spam with junk mail and about which to gather information from reading preferences annoys me.

Maybe I should use an account that I don't often touch.

Ah! so the very critter that was demonstrated earlier! I found it intriguing.

Sometimes chemical elements are ranked by frequency in the same order as by atomic weight. Not most of the time, though.

Everyone's suddenly interested in ozone in the mid 1980s.

You can see where aluminium tried to take over from aluminum, but no dice.

Alas, poor hydrargyrum, stibium, plumbum, stannum, ferrum, natrium, kalium, wolfram, cuprum, argentum, and aurum.

Catsup really was what it was called back in the day.

I queried "red, blue, yellow, green", because I am hilarious. Green and blue really do run together.

Interesting questions!

There is a startling decrease in the use of "the" over the course of time.

Well, yeah, but there is an actual academic drive to eliminate the word though. At least, judging from my Community College education.

There's been discussion among lawyers that the word "chutzpah" has appeared more frequently in legal documents over time, leading to the question of whether there is actually more chutzpah.

I just like that swimsuits apparently don't exist until the start of the 40's...

Try searching on "bathing suit".

Well... yeah, but I don't like the concept of a bathing suit.
