Conclusion: 15% of uses of the word portmanteau on the internet are on or
related to Wikipedia?
Google hits as metric seem to mean less than ever. I've just chased to
the far end of the Google searches: there were 75 pages total of hits
for the first. And 77 pages of hits for the second. So just over 100% of
uses on the Web for "portmanteau" are related to Wikipedia?
Google-watchers may know more, but the "raw" number of hits seems to
collapse under some sort of screening and/or condensation, often by a
factor of 1000.
