Task 1: Twitter Wars!

idio has two offices in the UK, the first in Exeter and the second in London. As avid and curious Twitter users we'd like to find out whether the population of Exeter or London are better at spelling. By using the [Twitter API][twit], aggregate and analyse tweets from Exeter and London.

Assumptions

  • Hashtags and @ replies contained in tweets can be ignored and should not have an impact on the overall spelling quality of a tweet.
  • Decisions about how you classify what a tweet from London is and what a tweet from Exeter is are for you to make.
  • Decisions about the scoring of individual tweets are for you to make.
