!how loudly
<galois>
SnoopJ: 538 loudlys
<SnoopJ>
mm, but only 535 of those are voting loudlys
<raptop>
It's all fun and games until the election is decided by a 5 to 4 vote
<SnoopJ>
I must admit I have experienced neither as yet
<SnoopJ>
mostly I have experienced aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
<raptop>
I mean, you were too young to vote when that one happened (2000 presidential election)
<egg|anbo|egg_>
shouldn’t it be loudlies
<SnoopJ>
it should but !how was born on a VPS with all of 256 MB of RAM so NTLK wasn't at the top of my list
<SnoopJ>
and spaCy I think didn't even exist yet, although I doubt any of galois's everyday features need that
<egg|anbo|egg_>
not everything needs a linear algebra jackhammer, this is entirely within the realm of things you can handle with handwritten logic
<egg|anbo|egg_>
cf. pluralization, etc.
<SnoopJ>
yea, there's a tiny bit of it in there
<SnoopJ>
this case is across the line where I care, given that there's a toolset that does it Right(tm)
<SnoopJ>
or has the atoms necessary to do so I guess
<SnoopJ>
hmm, I guess it wouldn't make sense there anyway since the word isn't countable. replace -ly with -lies I guess
<SnoopJ>
could at least check the POS before doing that with the shiny
<egg|anbo|egg_>
SnoopJ: Doing Grammar Right still doesn’t necessarily involve linear jackhammers (again consider the example of pluralization, instead CLDR maintains discrete rules for all languages)
<SnoopJ>
egg|anbo|egg_, if you plop a Sopel-compatible implementation in my lap, I will put it in
<egg|anbo|egg_>
note how for multiples of a million things are different
<SnoopJ>
didn't know the Consortium used Pages either, guess I've never come across such a site
<SnoopJ>
I guess because it's staging
<SnoopJ>
anyway, nothing there under English looks like it would be helpful for "loudly" -> "loudlies" unless I am misreading the page, since I have an adverb and I want a plural noun
<SnoopJ>
seems like that's mostly about how to treat a noun based on the amount that you have (I am thinking of lakh for...some reason? not quite the same)
<egg|anbo|egg_>
SnoopJ yes this is not about this kind of grammar, it is merely an illustration of the feasibility and power of handcrafted rules
<SnoopJ>
the point is granted
<SnoopJ>
when I work on galois I'm usually doing it half as an excuse to do something I'm interested in doing
<egg|anbo|egg_>
well, it *is* about this kind of grammar in the sense that you could ask people for !how many {one {# loudly} other {# loudlies}} but that is a bit silly :-p
<SnoopJ>
as a rule I tend to get bored with fine-granularity expert systems (?) of the sort you're describing
<SnoopJ>
I see the concept proved out and the rest just feels like a slog I guess?
<SnoopJ>
I always come back to NLTK because it seems Neat
<SnoopJ>
and it would also be a good foundation for resurrecting some of the shitpost functionality that used to be a very dumb n-gram Markov model
<egg|anbo|egg_>
!choose DF|more Principia

egg|anbo|egg_: Your options: DF, more Principia. My choice: DF
