[Corpora-List] Query about nomenclature

[Yannick Versley]

Asking google for n-gram may not do what you intended, since your query will
match all of ngram, n-gram and n gram. Even then, looking for "n gram"
(which will match n-gram and n gram) returns 68.900 hits, so n-gram is
probably still the right one.

What I got from google:
search str.	hits
--------------	---------
ngram		20 400
ngram -perl	16 100
"n gram"		68 500
"n gram" -perl	63 100
