Time for another quick project! This time, I've put together a vocabulary tester for Twitter. Just put in your twitter handle, and get an outline of your most used and longest words.

The app is implemented under Laravel, using the Twitter APIs to pull tweets for processing. To get around potential memory and time contraints on PHP scripts (and to provide feedback on progress), I used AngularJS for aggregation and rendering of results. Bootstrap and Font Awesome provided quick styling.

There are admittedly a few limitations. The Twitter API won't retrieve more than 3200 of a given user's tweets, so more prolific accounts will only be assessed on recent posts. The nature of tweets encourages simple sentences, so certain classes of words (articles, prepositions, conjunctions, etc) have been omitted from the counts to avoid the results being boring or irrelevant.

My own results inform me that I use the words 'have', 'just' and 'I'm' most frequently - guess this means I'm obsessed with posession, humble and egotistical at the same time? And my longest words were completely made up, like "super-periphrastic-isticexpialidocious".
