From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
And only herald to the gaudy spring,

Last active March 14, 2022 08:52
A Python function to test if a noun is countable. Too many requests will get you locked out, so use sparingly. EDIT: probably won't work with changes to the NGram viewer; see comments below
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re, urllib2, json
def countable_noun(thing):
'''
searches Google NGram to see if a word is a countable/mass noun
returns True if countable, False if not

A word-wrap function for Processing with hyphenation! Great for weirdo text,
URLs, etc. Returns overall height of resulting text block, which is super helpful
for times where you want to add something directly below a bunch of text.
