[Corpora-List] Google Ngrams tool?

[Joerg Tiedemann]

Interesting is also the distribution of "fuck" with a second peak in the
early 19th century.
http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=fuck&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=
However, this is simply due to a simple problem with OCR (often referring
to "such" with a long s). So, be careful ...
