The Porter Stemming Algorithm

[Ghetta Life]

The "analysis" (really nothing more than a count) of word occurance in GR 
has about as much "true meaning" (you're not supposed to link those words in 
the world of Pomo) as the word count in the seance.  It's supposed to be 
funny, not taken seriously except by the devotees.  Although it might be a 
jab at Nabokov's coded word-count/game in Pale Fire (1962), also dug-up by 
devotees.  But of Nabokov's game, I don't remember specifics, only that they 
were subtle messages from the other side channeled through a deranged 
"editor."  At least that was one theory (I think).
