+1 No reason to make everyone come up with their own list. Unless a good list already exists out there... we could semi-automate it by running a large corpus through the stemmer and then for each stem, list the original words. The manual part would be looking at the output to see the collisions (unless someone has a better idea). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com
