From the Dictionary


O.K., so first thing, "algorerhythm" would come before "algorithm" in a dictionary. But doing it correctly kind of wrecks the set-up, doesn't it? So I cheated.

Second thing, this bit of wordplay doesn't turn out to be an original discovery. After I finished making this graphic, I decided to do a Google search. A little late, I know, and while I didn't get an exact "algorerhythm" match, there were two similar hits. "Al Gore Rhythm" registers 11,600 matches, including as a headline for this New York magazine article. There's also a musician known as Algorethym, although finding anything further about him/her is difficult.

Come to think of it, maybe this idea isn't even that clever to begin with, which adds up to three strikes, which is more than reason enough not to run it. So I won't ... after today.
