TextInfo's task is to count all the various _unique_ words in texts
and list them. "Mine your mine" = 3 words, 2 unique (mine, your).
Read. If you find the following facts interesting, then this may
be a program for you.
! Two Cities by Dickens has almost twice as many unique words
as the Koran, despite the fact that the Koran is bigger. (Two
Cities 8041/138384, Koran 4300/152164). Plato's the Republic
(translated, as the Koran) has 45 % more (6199/127005).
! Moby Dick has 13403/213486 words; that is 27 % more than
the Bible's 10560/812394, even though Moby Dick's size is only
about one quarter of the Bible's!
! A friend (greetings, Thunor) told me that he had heard that
there was a word in the Bible that occured 666 times, and it
was the name of the Beast. There is no such word in King
James Bible...
! You need only to know the meaning of 48 words to understand
half of the words written in the Bible... (37 in the Koran,
44 in the Republic, 64 in Two Cities and 87 in Moby Dick).
REQUIREMENTS
OS 2.0+ and a mind that is more interested in how many grains of
sand the average beach contains, than the latest sport results or
soap operas.
