How hard would it be to modify yours to not use that algorithm? I'd like
a random sentence generator that works on Linux, and while yours has a
good idea behind it, the output leaves something to be desired. The vast
majority of seven-word sentences, for example, consist of seven
unrelated cmavo, indicating that weighting really is important.

Heck, I'd fiddle around with the weights if I had some way to adjust
them.
