[Corpora-List] Quotable Statistics on Unstructured Data on the WWW

[Adam Kilgarriff]

I always squirm when I hear text referred to as unstructured data.
(Daniel - I see you do too, from the '(semi-)'.)    It feels like a
teenager declaring everyone over 25 as old.

(PS - I first came across it in the IBM-promoted UIMA, the U is
unstructured, so the inventors of that acronym should be shot. Not sure if
the initiative is ongoing.)
