eChomsky

eChomsky is a blatant ripoff of an anonymous piece of Lisp code, foggy.l. We have decided to make this available to the non-Lisp-interpreter-owning world, in order that it would assist students of the great study of linguistics everywhere.

The original description string is as follows:

     CHOMSKY is an aid to writing linguistic papers in the style
of the great master.  It is based on selected phrases taken 
from actual books and articles written by Noam Chomsky. 
Upon request, it assembles the phrases in the elegant
stylistic patterns that Chomsky is noted for. 

To generate n sentences of linguistic wisdom, type
     (CHOMSKY n)  -- for example
     (CHOMSKY 5) generates half a screen of linguistic truth.
