At work

Here at work, I am learning NLTK, a natural language processing toolkit that uses Python. Though setting it up is a real big hassle, in Windows and Linux, I'm slowly progressing. Here is a model of the uses of the words "American" vs. "citizen" in all the inaugural addresses up through 2005. I wonder who it was who used "citizen" so much in 1841 - Andrew Jackson maybe?

Update: It was John Tyler, who gained the office after George Harrison died a month after the election, the first to do so via presidential succession.
