Using LJArchive's word count tool on my Insanejournal resulted in some weird discoveries:

The most often used word with at least four letters as of today before this post is "Subaru" (1563 + 267 "Subaru's"), followed by "Seishiro" with 1329 (+ 331 "Seishiro's") and "Tokyo" at 400 is a distant third to those two. I used "Sakurazukamori" exactly as often as "coffee" (139)! The "Sumeragi" (246) are mentioned twice as often as the "Sakurazuka" (123). "Fanfic" equals "magic" with 108, while "marks" are one count before "phone" (110 to 109). "Kill", "nice", "fandom", "final" and "thanks" form a group with 61 counters each, followed by "japan", "blossoms", "Fuma", "inside" and "pentacle" with 60 and I'm ("Kniggendorf") an "illusion" at 76!

IJ-user yourlibrarian throws a fascinating glance at the differences between IJ's and LJ's most common interests with respect to fanfic, fandom, and more. Give it a read! :)
