I don't know about anyone else but i am getting increasing irritated
by Voldemort's tweets.  Not so much for the content -- which is bad
but I can deal with intellectually -- but the style of expression that
reminds me of junior high/high school "commentary".  I assume
that people have done frequency analyses of word appearance
and have created word clouds but I was wondering if anyone has
used the software that analyzes the educational level of the text
(e.g., popular newspapers typically have articles/features that are
oriented towards, say, 10th graders).  I understand that there is
a 140 character limit on tweets but there is a world of difference
between a Haiku and the verbal diarrhea that some spew. So,
does anyone know of recent studies?  I assume that people will
write dissertations about Voldemort's tweets ranging from content
analyses to markers of potential psychopathology but that's off
into the future (unless Twitter goes out of business soon; one
wonders what Voldemort would do then at 3am?).
