[erg] a question of parenthesised numbers

[David Mott]

oe

Ah, after your last email now i am calling PET as you said above. But when
I tried this out originally (2 mths ago) I called it without the -sm -repp
-cm stuff and I did not think to try it again with your new parameters.
Strangely I was just looking at the output after making "male" a mass noun
(which does now parse) and I saw "generic_card_ne" in the parse, but didnt
think to question that. See, it was all under my eyes all the time. Sorry.

Your pointer to the tmr files is illuminating, and should allow me to
remove loads of special entries in the lexicon.

thank you

David
