Now I want to know how often "insane" was used...

Hey there! I'm back with Exhibit B: quaf really has no lifeNotes:The data was collected from the unofficial Animorphs ebooks, and includes insane and its variants i.e. insanely and insanityThere were some instances where other characters narrated that Marco said "insane" at a different time, if this was a clear quotation I gave that to Marco if not I just added it to the narrators countTo interact with the charts go into the spreadhsheet (they are just images in this post)EDIT: I realised that from books 33-54 I searched the ebooks for "insane" rather than "insan" so "insanity" wouldn't of been counted for those. Oh well. Here is a doc with all the quotes Here is a spreadsheet with the data for your viewing pleasureGraph time!Book 16 had the highest word count with 12There's definitly a decrease as the series goes on, probably the absurdity of alien invasion becoming normalised.Marco (gee what a surprise) took the lead with a whopping 91 mentions of the word, either in dialogue or narration. He really needs to expand his vocabulary.It is also interesting to note a lot of it is internalised. Something something psychology of war.INSANE I TELL YOU! INSANE!
