Word Clouds

So, I've become mildly obssessed with word clouds. The Washington Post has them all the time after someone gives a speech. The basic idea is that it is a visual representation of the speech, with the most common words bigger than less common words.

So, I decided to make one for the Book of Mormon: here it is. I did delete names like Alma and Nephi (the only text file of the BOM I could find had the name of the book in front of each verse). I also deleted a huge "Unto" that made all the other words too tiny.

I thought it was interesting to look at, so I've decided to share. Enjoy :)
