I was extremely suspect when the term ‘bucolic’ made it to the tag cloud presented by OHM — it’s a great word, sure. But with a thousand responses … I highly doubt a significant number of people used the term (five did, based on the raw survey results<\/a>). So I generated a few word clouds of my own for comparison. This is the image presented in the Township meeting — now the idea of a word cloud is that the size of the word increases related to the frequency in which the word occurs.<\/p>\n

Compared to the tag cloud generated by separating responses on commas — not great because some people space-delimited their three words.

\nAnd separating on word boundaries — also not great because some people’s “words” were actually phrases, but it gets those who space delimited their three words.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd separating on word boundaries and aligning similar-meaning words (e.g. farm, farms, farmland => farm) which becomes a little subjective — does “wooded” and “trees” mean the same thing? Maybe and maybe not. Same with ‘country’ and ‘countryside’ … or even the difference between ‘farm’ and ‘agriculture’.<\/p>\n
