Hee hee hee:

Its not every day I get to correct the RenegadeMime.
The number of four letter combinations is 456,976, of which at least 101 are actually words in English.
This is 226.48 pages at the rate of 25 lines per page at 80 characters a column.
But!
I can print at the rate of 300 dpi**, and leaving a comfortable margin gives me a working area of 8x11 inches per sheet of paper. A old style font can be printed in a 8x8 pixel block.
Adding a space character between words (five characters per word) gives me 24750 minuscule* words per page. That's the entire Tetragrammaton Set printed on 18.5 pages.

Or is it? Its the English Tetragrammaton Set. The Hebrew Tetragrammaton Set would have been different - its unlikely that all the same consonants were used. The bigger question is what the Tetragrammaton Prime Set is - and that means finding out how many sounds are used - and usable- in human speech.

*Capital letters would be 0.026 inches high!
**I may misunderstand this rating: is it dots per linear inch, or dots per square inch?

'New from the Colonel! Chicken and tits!'

Today I got into an argument at work with a co-worker (to use the noun loosely) over ancient Hebrew diacritical marks, and how they applied to the Tetragrammaton*.
An argument which I think I won, for it ended with him screaming uncontrollably "Chicken and Tits!" over and over again.

This made me laugh for the better part of a day.
I cannot understand why he chose this phrase, but I am guessing that perhaps he read an article on the subject that used the example of 'Chicken' and 'Tits' as words that would encode the same without diacritical marks?
Its really the only answer I can think of.

*This chap believed that all four letter words** were names of God. I suspect he never read the 'Nine Billion Names of God' story by Arthur C. Clarke.

** I wanted to print out the list and bring it to work until RenegadeMime pointed out the list would contain 67215243521100939264000000 'words'. Factorials defy intuition.
