We're looking for corpora of English in which the style is informal -
the type of language found, for example, in intra-office correspondence. The
Brown corpus has some material in this style, but we need more than is available
there - we hope to assemble a million words in order to train a handwriting
recognition system. Thanks to anyone who can help!
