Can You Feel The Algorithm (Page 8)

So I was using the Lord’s… son’s name in vain in an e-mail i was writing, and was dumbfounded by the kanyeness of its (Polish) spelling.

Obviously I wanted to find out if this is the kanyeest¹ of the different spellings of Jesus. And, indeed, Polish Poland ranks #1, again:

¹ High Kanyeness = low Levenshtein distance (L column) and high similar_text() (ST) value to “Yeezus”.

The results might be biased by bad transcription and poor Unicode implementation, but then again, who cares. I blindly relied on copy & paste; sorry if I f’d up your favourite languages spelling (and score).
