I agree. Perhaps you can help evangelize the world of difference between "fun exercise" and a production-ready system (the OP is a paid service).

I used to be a bit upset when someone claims to have implemented a state-of-the-art POS tagger, when they just took the dictionary and rules produced by Eric Brill's learner verbatim and apply those. Or worse, they take the first ten rules ;).

Nowadays I just prefer to evolution let do its work. The best or the one with the best marketing wins :).

Liberating approach Daniel!

I'm still in the naive do-it-well phase, but seeing the downvotes, it may be time to join the hipsters. Or at least shut up ;)
