[Corpora-List] Looglefight

[Khurshid Ahmad]

Dear Adam
I think we have had Lgooglefight before.  Anyway thanks.  I just ran
fights between 'Adam' & 'Kilgariff' and 'Adam' won.  Then I had a fight
between 'Adam Kilgariff' & 'Yorick Wilks'; I leave to see the result.

The point is about using 'web texts' - there may be many insightful
results but there are ephemral instances too.  Corpora are expected to
give us a degree of objectivity about the use of language in situ.

Best wishes
