    So if we look at october (last full month for which results can't be changed anymore)

    we have 128 threads, of which 5 (4.1 % ) begin not witha letter

    "W" ist still the single most used letter to begin a thread (15 or 12.2 % ), lying a factor of 5 above it's expectation value.
    "E" is still rare a factor of four below the expectation value.

    a,d and y hit their expectation values.

    Before I even read this thread, I started a thread beginning with 'G'.

    Am I unique?? 😀 😀

    I know the answer is 'noooooooooooo'!

    This month were already 4 threads active beginning with a "G" In October there were 6 threads beginning witha "G". This letter is quite a bit over it's expectation value (factor 3!)

    And the answer to your question is: You are unique!

    I'm trying to give it up (the grammar stuff). On the internet it's just too stressful.

    You can run, but you can't hide.
