Information is Beautiful



Among the teaching staff there is hot debate on whether or not Wikipedia is a good source for information.

Information is Beautiful, is not only a statement, but a website. Here is where representing data gets interesting. Among the many visual representations it is reported that 2,927 people weighed in on whether or not we should write "sulfur" or "sulphur".

I trust Wikipedia (which can also read: I trust the human population who have access to computers.)
