Trump spoke more than Clinton during their time in front of the podia, saying 7832 words to Clinton's 6264.

But many of their oft-repeated words are the same, with jobs people, going and business all showing up prominently.

But while Trump was more formal in addressing his rival, using the word Secretary 23 times, Clinton 21 times and saying Hillary fewer than 10, Clinton was far more casual, calling him Donald 25 times.

Trump was almost twice as repetitive in his choice of words. He used 56 words more than ten times, while Clinton repeated herself to the same extent 28 times.
