We handle polywords. We had to. Noun adjuncts being one of the worst in terms of how often they show up, and I'll be honest I don't even know what you call Gerunds as Adjectives like "Running shorts" but those are a pain too. But you can kind of find ways to get lists of those. Parts catalogs, shopping sites. People want to buy polyword nouns. There are fewer of the verbs but they are harder to find lists of.
Idioms we haven't addressed much. Fortunately in news they come up less than other things. Sarcasm we deal with in most cases, but not all. There are hints that things are sarcastic, but if they are written like "the Onion" and they don't change tone because they are really a parody rather than sarcasm we can't tell that.
I like to say that if your 5 year old would figure it out we will figure it out. If your 5 year old won't probably we won't either. But this is a huge leap forward since the competition is about the level where your dog would understand.
