The article provides interesting insight into how people use online dictionaries. It says that common words such as "love" and "justice" bubble to the top and indicate philosophical or aspirational interests.

Similarly a common issue in patent litigation is agreeing on which definition of a word to use. There is a lot of case law on lexicography.

What that article says to me is that a lot of people debate love and justice and want a trusted authority. Tough stuff.
