Today, I employed the Google Ngram Viewer, an online phrase-usage graphing tool, to chart the yearly count of the words fate and luck as found in over 5.2 million books digitised by Google up to 2012. The results may be seen below.
Why has the word fate become progressively less popular among authors since 1800? And why did the word luck become increasingly popular with authors until the 1930s, take a downturn until the mid 1970s, when it started growing more popular again?
