| May 7, 2014 at 20:11 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | @KitFox and how about six different answers that answer the same question? Is that more acceptable?. I'm deleting both posts, because the OP must have seen them both, and hopefully next time, he'll be a bit more cautious and wary before believing anything he sees on Ngram. The fact that you, kitfox have the nerve to say I am cheating, or acting unfair, is extremely hurtful. | |

| May 7, 2014 at 13:19 | comment | added | Phil Perry | raper can be used, even today, where a rhyme is needed. Listen to the Rolling Stones' Midnight Rambler: "I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger..." where Mick and Keith wanted something to rhyme with anger. | |
| May 7, 2014 at 0:01 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | Why? @KitFox. I have seen other users in the past who have posted two answers before me. This answer is more detailed, whereas the first is brief, to the point. This was a reply to comments to explain why the graph was relevant. I didn't want to clutter that post. What have I done wrong? | |
