This script loads many global lingo property lists into RAM. It can cause Navigator to crash! It is based on Chompsky's linguistic theory of grammar and tries to randomly select appropriate nouns verbs and prepositions. It is programmed to recognise the difference between various levels of noun animacy related to verbs, for example a rock can't do most of the verb actions that would apply to human activity. The verb complement is yet to be written. No responsibility is accepted for any offending bad language or absurd sentences. They are randomly generated and the grammer programming has many bugs still generating rubbish. Garbage in Garbage out.

The bottom panel contains most of the lingo code for making property lists of Nouns with animacy ratings and other information on the correct article for the noun, singular or plural. Actually the article is randomly selected first and the correct noun selected, then the verb is matched to the noun animacy level.

The W3C validator does not support the used embed tags, but they are required for the display of shockwave files by some browsers. Without the embed tag and by just using the correct W3C object tag, the page might only work in Internet Explorer. The embed and noembed tags and values for each tag, produce deliberate W3C validation errors, rather than be error free and deny access to Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera and others.
