But what does it mean???

Well, I've just run the word analysis tool on Livy Ab Urbe Condita Book 2. The important thing to note is that out of eighteen thousand words, only 20 weren't parsed and found in the dictionary. That's pretty much amazing.

How did this happen? Well, two things had to happen. First, I ignore capitalized words that weren't located in the dictionary. Essentially, I'm ignoring proper names and place names. Second, I programmed Numen's ability to parse syncopated perfect verbs: laudasse (laudavisse), norat (noverat), et cetera.

I still have a bit of testing to do to make sure I didn't break anything, but this was one of the few major hurdles that I needed to overcome to get a nearly perfect parsing engine!

Visual Refresh

This isn't the prettiest site in the world -- I admit. It's meant to be functional. Still, I sometimes think it could look better, so I spent a few minutes today sprucing it up. Hopefully I didn't break anything.

News is slow -- for most schools around the U.S., winter break is upon us. With students taking a break, the site is also slowing down. Hopefully when you all return from break there will be some interesting new features and bug fixes!

Happy break.
