Block quote

A tyre is a tire that is located in the U.K. while a tire is a tyre that is located in the U.S. And the yellow “highlighter class” is new.

Meanwhile, Thirteen’s suspenders are reminiscent of those worn (albeit briefly) by the Seventh Doctor (Sylvester McCoy), and their mustard color, as well as the colored stripes of her shirt, also call to mind Seven’s colorful sweater vest. – Outer Places

Then resume talking. A tyre is a tire that is located in the U.K. while a tire is a tyre that is located in the U.S. And the yellow “highlighter class” is a link to the reference post.

NGRAMs

Wikipedia defines n-gram like this:

In the fields of computational linguistics and probability, an n-gram is a contiguous sequence of n items from a given sample of text or speech. When the items are words, n-grams may also be called shingles.

An n-gram shows how often a word or phrase appears (e.g., in books, or in newspapers) over time. Google describes their NGRAM program as follows:

When you enter phrases into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how [often] those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (e.g., “British English”, “English Fiction”, “French”) over the selected years.

That’s where we get our data.

NPR embeds

NPR embed. The embed is an iframe. There is a large gap after the embed, about 150 px on a big screen. It does not go away by declaring margin or padding parameters. NPR embeds ideally should be included in short posts, with all text preceding the embed.
