Le truc, c'est chic

The LJ corpus analysis thing is doing the rounds again... A quick count suggests that there are only 2 (maybe 3) actual nouns in my top 100 whatsits of most-used thingies.

Still, it could be worse; I suspect the top 100 words across the whole of LJ would start with "I, me, you, lol, omg" and go downhill from there.

"Night" and "people" were the only two unambiguous nouns I could find. I missed "time", "back", and "being"; I've probably mostly used the latter two in non-noun contexts, but "time" I just missed. "Work" was my possible third noun (I'm more likely to have used it as a noun, I think).

"Something" and "someone" are indefinite pronouns, so I wasn't counting them, any more than any of the other pronouns.

I can't believe you had nothing better to do than go through that list looking for nouns.
