	Interesting how they use "We" almost twice as much as "I"

	raydante:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 19:55 GMT		5 points
	Interesting that the last word listed is ...

	TravisSMcClain:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 20:04 GMT		34 points
	I'm stunned that "God" isn't on here. I assumed that and "bless" were givens.

	catcherj:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 20:15 GMT		1 point
	WWH? Is it supposed to be WHH (William Henry Harrison)?

	guide:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 20:19 GMT		5 points
	@TravisSMcClain: Keep in mind that even the lowest on this list average multiple mentions per address. There were a lot of words that I figured would appear but neglected to consider that they wouldn't be likely to be repeated in the same address. I'm sure most inaugural addresses contain the word "God" at some point but seeing as I don't think any president would use their address for an extended discussion of religious issues, it doesn't get up to the minimum 93 appearances.

	"The" is currently winning the most patrotic word.

	boyd2212:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 20:34 GMT		3 points
	I listed the words of the pledge of allegiance and star spangled banner hen I ran out of ideas and that turned out to be a pretty good method.

	BonnieH:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 20:37 GMT		3 points
	Well, I got more than half, which I was satisfied with. But I missed a lot of really obvious ones. I should listen to the inaugural speeches more often, I guess.

	dolebanana:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 21:17 GMT		6 points
	@catcherj: That'd make sense, but "WWH" is actually World War Hulk, who was of great service in tallying the word totals. (Alright, you caught me.)

	Dirk:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 21:48 GMT		6 points
	I'm surprised "promise" wasn't in there.

	caramba:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 23:25 GMT		5 points
	Won't this just have to be updated next week?

	MePerson:	Jan 18th, 2013 at 23:52 GMT		3 points
	I like how "fellow" and "American" are almost always found hand in hand.

	jtrichey:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 00:47 GMT		7 points
	Try this: Once you see the answers, just read the ones you missed aloud, in order. It might make for an interesting (but vapid) speech.

	Ajlark25:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 07:30 GMT		1 point
	That's a tough one! I got a 2.4% word, but missed an 80% one...

	WCRoentgen:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 09:08 GMT		1 point
	Kudos for the amount of time this must have taken.

	Statto2:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 14:24 GMT		1 point
	I suppose "government" can be considered the most used word that wouldn't feature that highly in general usage.

	pfrijiritr:	Jan 19th, 2013 at 14:49 GMT		1 point
	132->125 "Laws had congress before never." Hmmm.

	Cirno:	Jan 20th, 2013 at 02:54 GMT		1 point
	@jtrichey - "Only Rights Without Each Power Made Nations Much Laws". I'm not sure what that means, but it sure makes for a good speech.

	NightOwl:	Jan 23rd, 2013 at 00:09 GMT		1 point
	I find it encouraging that peace is mentioned more than war...

	yanks1020:	Jan 23rd, 2013 at 14:54 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz but I hate how these quizzes always end up as guessing conjunctions and common English words rather than more pertinent words to an inaugural address.
