Okay, is there a searchable TV / movies corpus?

Or several corpuses? (Corpora?)

I’m just getting tired of people claiming that “nobody” says things that I’m certain I’ve recently heard on contemporary lowbrow media. But I just can’t prove it! And I can’t make them prove it either!

Even fansites with searchable scripts would be something.

I’ve used https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/ and https://transcripts.foreverdreaming.org/ when I’ve needed to look things up. Forever dreaming have started writing words like murder as m*rder which is bad for screenreader users like me, other than that gripe they have loads.

I think the plural of corpus should be corpi….?

[conuly]

No, that's the plural marker for the second declension.

The Latin word "corpus, corporis" is in the third declension. You can tell because of the related English word "corporal" which retains the or we pick up in the genitive.
