Re: USAGE: YAEUT: "Molten" vs. "Melted"

I haven't been following this thread closely, but it seems that a lot of the
usage questions concerning 'molten' and 'melted' can be solved by looking at
a corpus. A colleague of mine here at Brigham Young University has developed
a very nice interface for doing corpus work. If you go to
http://corpus.byu.edu/ you can get access to a number of corpora, including
the British National Corpus and the Corpus of Contemporary American English.
By comparing 'molten + N' and 'melted + N' in either of these corpora you
can find most of the answers that seem to be coming up, and then you
wouldn't need to rely on (sometimes unreliable) intuition.
