I searched for "epic", and one of the suggestions was "epic-as-fuck". I'm curious about how this phrase was selected as an adjective. What sort of rules do you use to find adjective phrases?
On a side note: is "fuck" very epic, or not very epic? I have no idea...
- ollieglass 13y agoI'm using the part of speech tagger from Python's NLTK to find the adjectives (http://nltk.org/ http://nltk.org/). Sometimes it selects phrases instead of individual words, I'm not using any extra rules to do this. I've left the phrases in because I think they're interesting and informative. Do you agree, or do you find them distracting? Not sure about your side note!
- rcfox 13y agoGiven that there are individual ideas that require more than one word to express, including adjective phrases makes sense. I was actually impressed by their inclusion. I did notice a false positive though: "integrity.While" I hadn't heard of the NLTK before. Thanks for pointing me to it!
