I ran my essays through Word grammar checker a while ago, and was surprised how stable the grammar statistics were. Complexity of the text (grade level) was the same to the decimal point, average length of sentences was consistent, etc. People also use the same styles of smileys or *highlights*, make consistent spelling errors, have their habits of indentation, etc.
What's the next step? Writing a program which "fakes" somebody's style, right?
It's been done already. A program was posted here a while ago that could actually fake a person's writing style by analyzing word patterns. It does a pretty good job, too. I can e-mail it to anyone who is interested. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= markm@voicenet.com | finger -l for PGP key 0xf9b22ba5 http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/ | bd24d08e3cbb53472054fa56002258d5 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMSVSmbZc+sv5siulAQEbTwQAh8+e51WN10DN6P4aLYoWrmLKLN3NWAJa TW6hvckc/zq8SnFvsRg9TbwLgVon3uxi+OByYyBR98tLEOSKjNVwv/5XZ5M216Zs UFk/a4fwWq/eJ2qnYkA9ultP7YQjPovJQCI+r+orJ6uLgoMiw4oLCbggpkpqET+X lADi5zJncaY= =+wAT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
