    Dear CORPORA subscribers
    Should it be N-gram/Ngram/n-gram/ngram? Is there a consensus about which of
    these four to use? Is there a way to measure usage on the Web via
    www.webcorp.org.uk <www.webcorp.org.uk> or other meta-engines?
    What comes after bigrams, trigrams? Is it 4grams, 5grams etc. or could it
    be something like quadrigrams, pentagrams, hexagrams? It was pointed out to
    me that pentagram is a Satanist symbol.
    Advice please. I'll summarize any answers which come to me and not to the
    list.
    John
