Visualize common words

Now that you have a corpus filled with words used in both the chardonnay and coffee tweets files, you can clean the corpus, convert it into a TermDocumentMatrix, and then a matrix to prepare it for a commonality.cloud().

The commonality.cloud() function accepts this matrix object, plus additional arguments like max.words and colors to further customize the plot.

commonality.cloud(tdm_matrix, max.words = 100, colors = "springgreen")
