I have noted that all the word clouds are defective when they
represent a certain politician's speeches. He/she uses the subject
pronouns up to 15 times other people in the same position have. I
would like to allow "I, me, mine, my" to the analysis and show what is
REALLY important to this politician.

Here's how you can do this. Run your wordle through as usual, then go to Language, select word counts and copy and paste the results to a spreadsheet. Take out the common words you DO want to remove. Then place colons between the words and the frequencies to feed back into wordle advanced. I have posted a spreadsheet on google docs to automate this.

There is another option as shown in the Forum from long ago. Allow all
common words then when the Wordle is formed, right click on each
common word you do not wish to have. A window pops up saying delete
word? Click delete. The Wordle will render without the word you
deleted.
Kay's way is easier, unless you are not comfortable using a
spreadsheet.

Cool, Kojaks, I didn't know about this. Definitely good when you have more to leave than to remove. Thanks for posting this.
