Count the frequency of letters in texts using parallel computation.
Parallelism is about doing things in parallel that can also be done sequentially. A common example is counting the frequency of letters. Employ parallelism to calculate the total frequency of each letter in a list of texts.
As a stretch goal, consider if your implementation will work for characters with diacritics or accents. For example, such solutions should not consider e and ë the same character. An example text for this case is Wilhelmus, the Dutch national anthem.
