Incorrect pluralizations in randomWord( "nns" ) #487

Open dhowe opened 6 years ago

dhowe commented 6 years ago

Some of these are due to mass nouns being pluralized; some are just incorrect pluralizations; some have no pluralizations; and some may be mistakes in the dict (I've fixed a number of these already):

feedbacks clouts slowness (still singular) shortness (still singular) steepness (still singular) roach (still singular) sadisms refrigerations polices braveries wakes distastes upstairses rooves (should be roofs) toothpastes plutoniums

You can see the full list with the following Java code:


JSONLexicon lex = JSONLexicon.getInstance();
System.out.println(lex.getWordsWithPos("nns"));

Step1:

that are both 'nn' and 'vbg' at the same time(brewing, budgeting...)
end with 'ness' (slowness, loneliness...)
end with 'ism' (colonialism...)

Have we discussed removing 'vbg' from the dict?

status @cqx931 ?

We have discussed removeing 'vb*' in this ticket before: https://github.com/dhowe/RiTa/issues/357 Question:

Should getWordsWithPos("nns") returns words end with 'ness'/'ism' at all?
I was thinking about ignoring words that are both 'nn' and 'vbg' if the request is getWordsWithPos("nns"), what's your thoughts on 'vbg' for this issue?

No. These are not considered plurals in this case

That makes sense to me, please proceed
