"I did a Google N-grams search [how often a word appears in books] for wantability. The term enjoyed some popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, then exponentially decayed. After the Reagan-Thatcher revolution the term was gone."
Sorry to steer off topic, but how much can we trust google N-gram researches? Are they accepted in scientific papers?
Just a curiosity of mine.
