🧠 voices in my head
🧠 voces en mi cabeza
Anyone want to provide logical explanation for the increase of the phrase "voices in my head" in #NGRAM Books index after the year 2000?
I used Spanish books and English 📚. Portuguese haven't been indexed.

Brilliant: #Leibniz Institute für Deutsche Sprache @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de has a really awesome #nGram analysis platform & demo, in German with zero anglicisms, funny examples ("Merkel & Markus", "sloppy bavarians", etc.), and zero exaggerating #bullshit.

Fellow finicky writers: Do you prefer "advance notice" or "advanced notice"?
Both are attested. But FYI, #ngram says that "advance notice" is much more common, even if it's in decline […]
Google Books ‘NGram’ search result for use of the word ‘Ableism’ showing an exponential rise from approx 2015. The word did not figure before the mid 80s
My #WordOf2024 is #Ableism ( although #brainrot is pretty much equal) and it’s not been around very long as a word, the practice is eons old…I do love an #ngram #googlebooks

Hubble Deep Field from 1996 could be argued to have quantifiably changed thinking. There was a concomitant steep and sustained increase in the incidence of "billions of galaxies" and "billions of stars" in the English language from 1996 onward.

Ich denke immer wieder einmal daran, ob es nicht irgendetwas zu sagen gäbe. Aber ich komme immer wieder zu dem Ergebnis, dass man nichts mehr sagen kann. Gäbe es etwas, was man sagen könnte, könnte man es trotzdem nicht sagen. #ngram
Screenshot of Google Books Ngram Viewer search for “naive“ vs. “naïve”. “Naive” rose steadily in popularity whilst “naïve” was rarely used, until right around 2000, when “naïve” suddenly surged whilst “naive” fell, and the two are now used roughly equally.
Random: Checked Google Ngram to see the usage of “naive” vs. “naïve”.
That’s quite the turnaround starting at the new millennium. Anyone know about this sudden massive surge in popularity for the diaeresis/umlaut?
