I did’t get the methodology.

  1. The numbers relative to each word in the chart represent how many songs are named with that word/syntagma or how many songs contain that word/syntagma?

  2. What’s the country/language frame? Are the data counting only the songs made in the US, or they are also counting the songs written and published in English from other countries?

  3. What’s the time frame, or what’s the oldest song of the data?

  4. Because of #2 and #3, I’d also like to say how misleading/English-centered this title “of all times” can be

Imprecise and ambiguous use of words

Is manslaughter murder? It might depend on context.

Laws are subject to modification. Nobody would have assumed social security law as written in 1935 would not need to be updated as life expectancy and birth rates fluctuated. The 1935 law didn’t have any adjustment for inflation until COLA were added in 1975. I think that is going to be a fundamental disagreement between us which is fine. There is value in nailing down the exact and precise disagreement.

IIRC, the Himalays are both the Asian and Indian plates crumbling. There're three types of plates touching: convergent, divergent, and transform (towards each other, apart from each other and alongside each other). There's two types of plates: continental and oceanic, of which the latter is much lighter .

The Indian plate and Asian plate are convergent and both continental. That means they generally just smash into each other, i.o.w. both crumbling. If one of them was oceanic, say Asia and the Pacific, the oceanic one would sink under the continental one, creating a valley or (Mariana) trench.

I find that deceptive because not all killing of innocent people is murder. Depends on intent.

That could be inferred from its design. Tax rate has changed 20 times already to account for life expectancy and birth rate.
