Mind Your Language

by KatieP on December 10, 2009

mind your language

The most telling thing about how you feel is the words you speak and the words you write. The words in the picture above are the words that I have used in my new blog, sized according to frequency of use. I LOVE that new is the most common followed by want and feel.

I am fairly certain that there are more positive words than negative ones, and as I can’t find fuck I am obviously not swearing nearly enough.

Do you want to give it a try?

Go to WORDLE and enter your blog address in the URL field. I’d love you to share what your top three words are in the comments section, or let me know if you’ve blogged about your results.

Did you know

  • The top three words for my old blog were 1. lose, 2. ideal, 3. healthy (and I found fucked ~ thank fuck for that)
  • Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.

Sounds exactly like you ~ full of love, ready to go, and passionate about fitness (and wishing us New Age girls would get saved already LOL)

Love this Katie. A snapshot of what is in our minds. Thank you. The main work for me was ‘good’. I also took note of ‘time’ and ‘just’.

Obviously I meant ‘word’. I have work on the brain. I think I need a rest!
