Since there is no typhoon in the Mediterranean and aegean sea, I think this word would not have a greek origin.

This may also be a proof that this word is originated from south or southwest Asia, where there had frequent trades and communications with greece for milleniums.

Cool! Can someone smarter than me tell me how much those correlate based on the chart?

You absolutely have tried to argue origin. You have zero idea what you're talking about and are asserting opinions about words that are not in alignment with centuries of documentary evidence. Evidence I personally studied as an undergrad archaeology and anthropology major with a focus on Mesoamerica. Your title is bad, and so are your arguments.

Good data, but I hate that the top four are inverted.

Jimmy was a great president and idc who says otherwise

Do you have an idea in your head of how to define what a word is? How do you determine what is and what is not a word in a given language?

For the record, I am not claiming that computer and coffee originated in those languages, only that they are words within those languages.

It depends on the type. A big Frasier fir will cost a lot more than a standard pine. But yes, a good quality and tall cut tree can be expensive.

It’s all the gangs in Deep South rural towns. /s

A Republican will lie that black is white just to get votes from dead people.

Australian here, I can barely imagine paying $80 for a conifer that's still alive let alone one that's been cut down...

Yep the etymology of cocoa is a spelling error that produced a word that was easier to say. No more or less.

As with so many words it has its roots in Latin and entered middle English from old French.

It is hilarious that you keep tripping over my point and yet thinking that it's not the point. You are factually wrong. Those words are not spanish. You are also wrong about the words computer and coffee, neither of those have the origins you have ascribed them. You really need to just Google the word etymology with words you think you know where they came from. You clearly are pulling all of this out of your ass.

I am not an expert on Int’l patent filing but I think many companies apply for US patents after they file in their country. Looking down the list many developing countries only have private applicants. Probably they only file in US.

👆and Indiana is only like 20 min. from the south side of Chicago.

I'm don't following the part about proper nouns, but words are just the sounds that come out of your mouth. Hence the reason "computer" is a Korean word, or "bus stop" is a Hindi term, or "coffee" is an Icelandic word.

Thanks for the feedback. Luckily I'm a nut about collecting demographics and frequently testing out different ideas as conversations come up, so I had already done most of the work before the article. I had even already included their data source in my data.

It's not exactly surprising given the demographic of that area and the murder statistics.

Oh okay, then if you put "Word Count in Thousands" don't add the k after the number, it's one or the other. The redundancy here makes the reader believe the numbers are in thousands of thousands! :)

The number is 60,900.

Nothing valid has ever been published by the Heritage Foundation. They have more similarities with ISIS or the Taliban then the truth.

Indeed. He's 98. I'm about [Jimmy Carter's age]% certain that he isn't out swinging hammers with Habitat for Humanity anymore but he was before COVID at least.

I applaud what was surely many hours painstaking looking for truth in the face of lazy lies.
