I totally expected it to be "just" a part-of-speech-tagger. It does at least these correctly: It takes many tries to succeed. It takes only one try.

I totally expected it to be "just" a part-of-speech-tagger. It does at least these correctly: It takes many tries to succeed. It takes only one try. It takes a try. I want to try and succeed. I'm gonna try it anyway. Man the boats! Man and the boats! What you'd want it to do? To show the parse tree? If I understand correctly, even the non-computational linguistics have had (and still have) trouble to come up with a system that parses all the natural language correctly – or even a system that could represent all the parses of natural sentences correctly.

Btw. to elaborate: there seems to be some troublesome sentences where a parse tree isn't just enough – you've got to have a graph. Yet, most of the linguistic phenomena can be parsed into tree structures. That's troublesome. It's like... there's a certain class of a parser in the brain, but then some curious sentences show the ability of overcome the "limitations" of that parser, and still they are considered grammatical.
