The words most used on Facebook according to age: "drink" in adolescence, "pray" in old age

According to a singular study of big data applied to Facebook regarding the most used words in this social network according to age group, it was possible to determine which words were used with a more different frequency depending on age .

Drinking, working and praying were the most generational words.

Drink, work and pray

The film Eat, pray, love almost got it right, but no: its title should be taken more as prescriptive (in any case) than as descriptive, because it only hit "pray".

According to the frequency of use of the words "drink", "work" and "pray", the cited study concluded that, in adolescence, people drink; in his twenties, he works; And in your thirties and beyond, pray .

These data allow us to find very interesting speech patterns, as Seth Stephens-Davidowitz explains in his book Everybody Lies :
