    As a politician said recently, that graph is “malarkey!” :)
    One of my favorite books ever is Dune. How many made up words are in that masterpiece, eh? I think I should draw a graph about that graph, with MADE UP WORDS on one side and THOSE WHO READ WITH INTELLIGENCE on another. ;)

    Ah yes, but when my cubicle neighbor sent me the link, I sat and laughed at my screen for a good full minute. One full minute laughing out loud in a cubicle-filled office is most definitely worthy of a post whether I agree with the statement or not.

    “Except for anything by Lewis Carroll or Tolkien, you get five made up words per story. I’m looking at you, Anathem.”

    Man, that graph is just crabfunkulous.
