Yet the methodology of my prior post seems to pick out the correct one: a <- c(Amateur = 5230, Amature = 280, Amatuer = 266, Ameteur = 619000, Ameture = 941000, Ametuer = 574000) plot(lm(log(a) ~ 1), which = 2) On 12/8/05, Tony Plate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would be wary of ta

I would be wary of taking frequency of misspelling as an indication of "correctness". Witness the following Google counts: Amateur (correct): 52,300,000 Amature: 2,800,000 Amatuer: 2,660,000 Ameteur: 619,000 Ameture: 941,000 Ametuer: 574,000 Here's a common misspelling at > %10 Collectible (co

This makes it pretty clear which are the meaningful ones: g <- structure(c(5070, 75200, 573, 836, 1020, 349, 1850, 530, 352, 576, 589, 618, 349, 652), .Names = c("Gibraltar", "Gibralta", "Gibraltr", "Gibralar", "Gibratar", "Gibrltar", "Gibaltar", "Giraltar", "Gbraltar", "ibralter", "Gibralatar

Hi everybody, I just notice a strange behaviour of gpar's fill argument when using non-postscript devices: The default of the argument is transparent (according to get.gpar("fill")). So as expected, the following code draws a nice red rectangle in the middle of my X11 or postscript device. pushV

I'm with Martin: When I get the same number of hits for two spellings, I believe that both are acceptable. When I get substantially different numbers of hits, I generally go with the one with the most hits -- unless the different spellings carry different meanings, of course.
