Maximum Verbosity

Before you ask: No, I have no life.

I was messing around with Elminster's stats page and thought it'd be interesting to see who uses the longest words in chat. I just did the top ten so no one would be hurt 'cause they were dead last (ArtEChoke).

1 Capstone 4.555411416
2 Shralp 4.545083074
3 Tiamat 4.540837267
4 Extremist 4.510635106
5 Skedaddle 4.442615069
6 Xenecor 4.435858218
7 Blackthor 4.393227513
8 Satiana_F 4.359144954
9 Azardu 4.356020886
10 Zaragoth 4.348953348

I bow unto Capstone, the Noah Webster of SP.

lol,

Wildfire and Lokken are not in the list... that doesn't suprise me at all.. they only say Heh, Lol etc. People that use smileys don't have a chance to get high on this list...

 

Dangnation! I discover a distinct absence of any identifier pertaining to myself. It compells me to expand my diminutive vocabulary, and attempt written communication in the manner of Kiser Jelai (that mercantile gentleman from the ultimate installment in the Baldur's Gate series). Possibly a most words per line compilation would not go amiss.

 

Don't give up hope, Ironbeard. I only checked the top 50 'cause that's all Elminster cares about.

(And he calculates words per public already. Clubmonkee leads with over 14 per line.)

 

Great, Shralp. As if there isn't enough competition here at SP already with amount of posts and chatroom wordcount Now you bring us this?!?!?

 

My goal was to create an entirely new kind of spamming.

Channel ops, beware of people whotypelikethis.

 

It makes us wonder. Who writes to be understood and who writes to sounds wise.

One thing is sure. There is 0,2 difference from number one to ten. Hence two letters in ten words. not alot is it? It doesn't take much to figure out who "lol" smile or heh the least.

above are roughly 60 words. If I cut away the smilies and wrote sixty instead of 60, I would have jumped a whopping 0.2 letters per word up. woohoo.

Anyway I wonder if Elminster registeres smiles as words. And great work Shralp. It is nice with some inspiration from time to time.

 

Shralp, I'm interested to know my average letters per word.
Could be useful to know

 

May I also be privilaged to become aware of my average letters per word? I wonder if you forsaw my 'demand'?

Generating sentences using words of substancial length is rather taxing on the mind and inner-conciousness no? Its similar to performing on mock examinations ... simply, it hurts

 

Talking long words means talking less words overall. As you can see, there is only 1 in this top 10, that is also in the top10 of how many words there are typed. That one is Extremist (spot 7?) Respect to Extremist... who talks long words... and still is high in the real top10.

Shralp, I suppose I was number last in this list? 4,24... even ArtEChoke had higher.... Wildfire 3,8...

Herf and others, when you also wanna know your average amount of characters per word, go to the chat. When Elminster is there, type !stat Elminster then shows the amount letters and the amount of words. take the amount of letters and devide is by the amount of words....

Heh... I'm 27th and moving up in the world, and (unlike certain OTHER people) *coughExtremist* I've only been a member since July....

 

Hot damn! That means i can't find out my word thingy till i get back from holiday ... nuts!

 

Sniper: It tells you your stats in TopTalkers
including how many letters and words you have.

 

(sniff) Just because they repeat the alphabet over and over like teacher says...

 

S if i divide my letters by my words it should come out as ...

356635/85321 = 4.17992053538988056867594144466192

Whereabouts is that then?

/me awaits eagerly the answer of his positioning ...

 

Heh, I'm in the top ten.

 

How do you figure this out??
