[Corpora-List] Wonky ngrams

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I am not sure on what I am saying, but, the graph is not showing 
frequency, but percentage. When looking to 3-grams, "in-spite-of" is 
more probable than when looking to bigrams for "in-spite".

But I am not sure about what those percentage mean.
