Teams are not a subset of objects #42

Closed myandrienko closed 1 year ago

myandrienko commented 1 year ago

README says:

This is a list of synonyms for "team". They're a special subset of objects.

However out of 130 words for "team" only 39 are also "objects". The rest are not:

aerie, alliance, assembly, bale, barrel, batch, bevy, brood, bunch, business, cackle, catch, cauldron, charm, chattering, choir, clan, clattering, clowder, cluster, coalition, combination, committee, company, conglomerate, congregation, conspiracy, convocation, corporation, coven, crew, culture, dazzle, descent, doctrine, drift, drove, exaltation, faction, faculty, fling, flush, gaggle, gathering, gobble, gulp, herd, hive, intrigue, kit, labor, lamentation, league, lease, lineup, murmuration, mustering, ostentation, pace, pack, pandemonium, parliament, phalanx, piteousness, pod, posse, prickle, pride, raffle, romp, rookery, sawt, scoop, scream, scury, sedge, sentence, shiver, shrewdness, sleuth, squad, staff, swarm, troop, troupe, unit, venue, whisp, whiting, wisdom, zeal

So either README or "team" words should be updated.

Hey @myandrienko thanks for writing in!

This factor of the teams words exposes a bit of Glitch's whimsy - many of the words in the list are collective nouns, such as "zeal" and "dazzle", which are groups of zebras.

I've updated the README to be a bit more clear - thanks for the catch!
