The manipulations were along the lines of, if we use the guideline, how can we make the most of it. If you consider, even a rule with even odds will get you the right answer half the time, while randomly choosing has a much larger variance.<br /><br />As far as the short list goes, with the weighted metric, the later words will have increasingly smaller impact (at most 1/2 the median short list, or 1/200 "their"). If many of the words above 5000 come are impacted by the rule it can add up, but There wasn't a clear grouping of good/bad v. word frequency. I'm not sure there is a reason to suspect a significantly different distribution for later words. Throw that in with the assumption that the corpus is representative.<br /><br />Your point that common words are less likely to benefit from the rule, since they are known, is well taken. It highlights the difficulty in selecting representative metrics.karlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-24579705656230987172017-07-12T11:05:08.270-04:002017-07-12T11:05:08.270-04:00I appreciate the analytical approach and didn'...I appreciate the analytical approach and didn't know about wordfrequency.info. <br /><br />1. I get that "their" accounts for a huge percentage of uses, but as you point out it is one of the most common problems. And I'm not sure it's fair to discount because people who care about spelling will know it. I remember being in elementary school and spelling badly and not particularly caring about it except when grades came back. Such a common exception made it harder for me to remember the other uses.<br /><br />2. I know the list of top 5000 words is free, but limiting the analysis to them is also problematic. Given the commonness of these words, if I cared about spelling :), I might see these often enough to know how to spell them. The next few thousand words, that I might use only occasionally and still spell wrong is perhaps more problematic.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914637175040341245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-75432239178751778152017-07-07T18:56:50.024-04:002017-07-07T18:56:50.024-04:00The first thing that jumped out at me when reading...The first thing that jumped out at me when reading the article was that simple word count is not the best metric to measure the efficacy of a spelling rule. Weighting the ratio based on how likely it is to encounter the words in question seems more useful. This will also normalize word variations being counted as multiple instances.<br /><br />Let’s assume the weighted word list from http://www.wordfrequency.info/ for the top 5000 American English words is representative. A simple word count shows 72% ie:ei, which is pretty close to the original article. If instead we do a ratio of the total frequency of ie words to ei words, it actually gets worse, falling only to 57%. The biggest impact is from "their", a very common word which accounts for 65% of the weighted violations. But there/their/they're usage is one of the most commonly pointed out issues, so lets assume someone who cares about spelling knows "their" outside the i before e rule. If I go through the list and eliminate words which are known exceptions or have otherwise overriding rules (e.g. prefix/suffix usage), the ratio goes up to 85%. That's not too bad as a guideline.<br />Karlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-73592727278143097672017-05-14T18:24:11.063-04:002017-05-14T18:24:11.063-04:00kids loved it, even with swearing :-)kids loved it, even with swearing :-)paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-86094241060741740552017-04-13T18:49:30.915-04:002017-04-13T18:49:30.915-04:00I've always heard Hulk has bird bones :)I've always heard Hulk has bird bones :)Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914637175040341245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-65537548537494365322017-04-13T18:35:25.809-04:002017-04-13T18:35:25.809-04:00Clearly they are looking at this the wrong way.

Instead of saying the movie got the physics wrong, it should raise the question, how must I adjust my assumptions so that the observed results are consistent with physics. For instance, why is it obvious Hulk weighs more than Thor? He is bigger, but Thor has especially dense bones.Karlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-45397985390717652172017-02-07T12:10:06.689-05:002017-02-07T12:10:06.689-05:00My sense is, as an individual, there's nothing...My sense is, as an individual, there's nothing you can do that you wouldn't do to avoid any crime, so it's not worth worrying about. It's very hard to tell whether there aren't that many attacks or they're being defeated due to our efforts. The Intercept and a documentary or two I've seen suggest strongly that several of the thwarted attacks wouldn't have happened at all if not for FBI encouragement (aka entrapment). <br /><br />My sense too is that veterans who've been to Iraq/Afghanistan are more concerned and other experts (head of Customs and Border Patrol, Police, many counter-terrorism people) put more of an emphasis on the difference between the police and the military. People who listen to just vets (perhaps via right leaning media) tend to want a more militaristic approach. Others want a more police driven approach. <br /><br />It's worth noting that home grown terrorism (whether ISIS inspired or white supremacist) is a bigger deal than imported terrorism. That doesn't change the likelihood of being a victim, but it changes the kinds of policies that would be effective to reduce it that you might want to support.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914637175040341245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10162381.post-52753217568347045912017-02-07T11:57:18.375-05:002017-02-07T11:57:18.375-05:00I have to tell you that given all of the things I ...I have to tell you that given all of the things I can worry about in one day, and it is a lot, if I put on my statistician hat and use the information in this report I think I can cross terrorism attacks in the United States off of the list.<br /><br />Does this mean that all the tools we have in place are working?
