[Esip-preserve] Yeah! Another Citation on Papers with Nonsense

[Bruce Barkstrom]

See the new Scientific American article on Stolen Words.
That uses a software tool for analyzing longer text strings
and comparing one string with another.  That may be appropriate
for disciplines with textual jargon.  On the other hand, it may
not help much in dealing with heavily mathematical material,
such as derivations of the equations in climate or weather forecasting
models.
