Top Word Counters

In my last post, I showed how word counts in General Conference changed over time. I noticed that certain terms would have a spike in certain years, often attributable to a single talk. In honor of those talks that give extensive reference to a single word and topic, I've compiled a list of "Top Word Counters." There's no particular reason for the selected topics, except that I picked them. I've arranged them from highest to lowest word count per talk. Enjoy reading some of these classic talks!
