How many words do you think the entire web, as crawled by Google, has?
- CydeWeys 11y agoWay way more than a corpus of a few million published books, that's for sure. Hell, there are individual message boards that have higher word count than millions of books. Wikipedia arbitration cases (these aren't articles, but rather, an esoteric back channel for handling disputes between users) frequently reach novel-length. The average quality is going to be lower, of course.
- DanBC 11y agoThere are hundreds of thousands of words on Wikipedia about en dash, em dash, hyphen, and minus. Here's one discussion over over ten thousand words: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_101#Hyphens_and_endashs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(poli... The least interesting thing about Mexican American War is what type of dash you use between Mexican and American. There are over twenty thousand words about that dash on wiki meta. 15,000 words would be okay if at the end of it there was some kind of consensus, or something that could be tramsfered to different articles. The future people are going to have a skewed image of us if they think meta wiki is representative.
