If you read my WP piece, you would’ve seen reference to the fact that “Family(ies)” was the fourth most commonly used term at the parties’ conventions.

What’s especially cool is that if there’s a word not included, you can enter it in and get the results. Definitely check it out– here’s a screen capture:
