Amazon.com has an algorithm for noting the “Statistically Improbably Phrases” in any given book. The idea is to look for word combinations that are uncommon generally but common in the book in the hope that this provides potential buyers some insight into what the book is about. Here are the ones for the Doubleday edition of the Book of Mormon:<\/p>\n
hearts upon riches,
\nlievest thou,
\nexceeding faith,
\nmine epistle,
\nmore wicked part,
\nnowise inherit,
\nhath covenanted,
\nabominable church,
\nland northward,
\nlabor exceedingly,
\nangel spake,
\nchoice above all other lands,
\nplain unto,
\nthou hast beheld,
\ncontinual peace,
\nbeareth record,
\ntime cometh,
\nexceedingly great joy,
\nmade manifest unto,
\nland southward,
\nwhoso believeth,
\nsoul delighteth,
\nstiffnecked people,
\nsecret abominations,
\nsalvation cometh<\/p>\n
