Therefore, we'll all be best suited as whoever we wish to be.
In another point of wiew, our outside contact with the non-species of our kind, it may best come out as that everybody else is us and us being everybody else.

So, if any of you copy the exact text and paste it in, see if it comes out with another author, based on which country/area/IP it is sent from.
Currently I'm at sea, so this was submitted via satellite having an uplink in UK.

I just posted your quote and it came back P. G. Wodehouse for me as well, so it looks like whatever the site is doing is based on some kind of examination of the text.
It would be nice if they described how the algorithm worked. I could see developing something that looked at average sentence length, number of adjectives per sentence, length of words, number of adjectives, adverbs, etc. Actually this would make a pretty good project for a neural network type of program that you train.
I tried entering a short quote from a Proust book and the website guessed Lovecraft. However, I entered something from Frankenstein and it guessed Shelley.
