3 days ago It turns out that there are 490 initial word types in the English definitions, which in reverse frequency order are enumerated below. This suggests that we can standardize a large part of the English definitions automatically, and the possible proper names that need to remain capitalized can be reviewed manually.

(From #99) We would want to implement some form of standardization of the ALTLab versions of the definitions from MD and AECD. For instance, removing the initial article, i.e.
a, an, the, and lower-casing initial pronouns (e.g.S/he->s/hein AECD , perhaps even generalizing the masculineHein MD tos/heas in CW. We might do an initial pass of this programmatically, and always keeping the original definition for reference, but then having a standardized version for public consumption in itwêwina.
