I conducted a some what unscientific search for rudeness with relation to LinuxThe following make interesting reading. on Google search 397,000 for pclinuxos stupid 5,080 for pclinuxos arrogant
You forgot to normalise your results by base frequency. pclinuxos 776,000 debian 55,400,000 Ubuntu 60,900,000 (Google numbers are pretty unreliable and variable)
846,000 for debian stupid 22,700 for debian arrogant 2,960,000 for ubuntu stupid 60,500 for ubuntu arrogant Would anyone like to comment as to why Ubuntu is associated with rudeness
Normalising by frequency pclinuxos stupid 397,000/776,000 = 0.51 Debian stupid 846,000/55M = 0.015 Ubuntu stupid 2,960/60,900 = 0.048 Oh and for comparison windows stupid -- 0.039 (and they have glass to boost their numbers).I conclude your method is broken or the rudeness is disproportionately with PCLinuxOS.
Although a quick sample suggests "stupid" is mostly used in referring to PCLinuxOS not the users (or would be users). Similarly for Ubuntu, the first his is "stupid tricks". So if the method is right we conclude Debian is least stupid, and pclinuxos is ten times worse than Windows.
