VMs: wordlength persistence

["Marke Fincher" <markefincher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you noticed that the length of a word in the VMs seems 
to be connected to the length of the previous word?    

Previous        Average Next
word length     word length
        2       4.77
        3       4.84
        4       4.99
        5       5.17
        6       5.34
        7       5.47
        8       5.56
        9       5.61
        10      5.77
        11      5.79
        12      5.72
        13      5.54
        14      5.60

If you plot these on a graph the first 11 points make quite a
nice line!

This bias is probably due to the high number of repeated words
and sequences of similar words.
