This is a neat tool! I searched for “how are you?” and got almost the same graph so I’m not sure if it’s as meaningful as people think. Probably more related to casual conversations being captured in text more.
I looked at some of the examples of early 1800s use of “where are you?” and it seems to be used often as “where are you going?” (most common) or something else like for example “from where are you buying that?” etc.
Also seems like the way they process it, it doesn’t just look for the immediate following question mark, the question mark can be later on.
