Way back in August last year I blogged about how using Tim Sherrat's work harvesting data out of the Australian newspaper archive coluld let you see when people changed their usage of a certain stock phrase - in this case when they stopped referring to world war one as the 'Great War'.
Tim has now gone and done it again - this time for the New Zealand newspaper archive. Unfortunately the archive stops at 1940, but their just a hint that it's going to parallel the Australian pattern.
