More on automated Mad Libs
Seems I made a slight error in my first pass at filtering out words with unambiguous parts of speech. Basically I filtered out words that also appeared in one of the other lists, but I didn't restrict the command to match only the full word. So for example, "hatch" would have been filtered out of verbs because it contains the word "hat" from the list of nouns. You can see where that little flub would reduce the numbers considerably. Here are the corrected counts (I again removed proper nouns, and additionally adjectives based on proper nouns):
11318 adjectives
2475 adverbs
25042 nouns
3280 verbs
42115 total
That seems like a lot to work with.
The idea is really to automatically create Mad Libs. Automatically filling them out seems like it would be less fun.
