Lexicography - Erin McKean - Google

Here is a very interested video, YouTube - Erin McKean: Redefining the dictionary it is actually about lexicography and it is very interesting. Erin comes to some interesting suggestions in the end about building a better database of words from the web.



In response to this I made a little quick and dirty search that shows the search's # of hits on the various google search databases (google, video, images, scholar, etc). And it makes a little bar graph, I might add more later.

Try it out!
