New corpus

[LanDi Liu]

I've just been made aware of a FREE new corpus of American English:

The Corpus of American English
http://www.americancorpus.org/

Not to be confused with the (regrettable) American National Corpus (ANC).

I've been playing around with it, and I have to say that so far, it
seems just wonderful.  It was created by Mark Davies at Brigham Young
University.  I can see myself using it a lot in the future.

P.S.  There's a fun new post about music on my Manchu blog (link below).
