Abstract
A frequent problem in computational linguistics is that text passages often use words that the computer simply doesn’t have in its dictionary. Online slang evolves very fast, people use foreign words in English passages, people make typos and invent new abbreviations, etc. You could add new words to the dictionary as fast as you can find them, and the next day, the program could still be stumped by a new one!
