Bump!
I'm knocking together a generator that makes just as little sense, but has more flexible grammar. So, let's start from the basics:
The collection of wrists consumes cats; a volcano consumes cats. The couple of machines consumes cats, for a team of screens consumes cats. A series of hurricanes consumes cats. Couples of cables consume cats, and teams of thieves consume cats.
Though rocks consume cats, mobs of disks consume cats. A collection of defects consumes cats; a team of ideas consumes cats. Teams of families consume cats; libraries consume cats. The defect consumes cats, but the collection of keyboards consumes cats. A border consumes cats; a wish consumes cats. Though the labourer consumes cats, arbitrators consume cats.
Glaciers consume cats, so geysers consume cats. Collections of stars consume cats, for couples of companies consume cats. Avocations consume cats; a swarms of readers consumes cats. Alpaca consume cats; swarms of jungles consume cats.
Groups of afternoons consume cats, yet the group of institutions consumes cats. The boundary consumes cats. As the couple of elephants consumes cats, collections of depositions consume cats. Couples of guitars consume cats, and a series of incorporations consumes cats. Even if the horde of cats consumes cats, hordes of fifes consume cats. Unless the canoe consumes cats, activities consume cats. The team of secrets consumes cats.
I haven't worked on the predicates nor the fluff yet (which is why everything seems to consume cats), but this new structure seems to handle the subjects much better, and also boasts more sentence variety. Any English majors here to rip this apart?
Most of these sentences should be using 'consume', not 'consumes'. And as for sentence variety, well...
Are you using Word Net:
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/But sense is not a goal. To the contrary, sense is unwanted in my endeavours. It ruins the randomness of it.
I'm pretty sure verb inflection is correct, because the computer does it better than I. I'm using standard grammar in my area when I say "a horde of cats consumes cats", because "horde" is singular and that is the subject. I'm aware that Texans, Alabamans, Mississippians, Nevadans, etc. may consider the subject to be plural because it is collective.
You're correct. I wasn't looking at it closely enough. However, I don't understand why sense is unwanted.
This is what happens when sense is employed:
A passenger wields an umbrella. The programmer plays a piano. A father eats the mother. A narwhal resides in a jungle. A person wields the stone. The man wields the sable.
The minister eats the kangaroo. The woman eats a kangaroo. The ghost wields the sword.
There is less variety than I would want.
