> The library bundles WordNet (using Oliver Steele's PyWordNet), NLTK, Damian Conway's pluralisation rules, Bermi Ferrer's singularization rules, Jason Wiener's Brill tagger, several algorithms adopted from Michael Granger's Ruby Linguistics module, John Wiseman's implementation of the Regressive Imagery Dictionary, Charles K. Ogden's list of basic English words, and Peter Norvig's spelling corrector.
It was in college and I was learning to code as I went (I was a humanities/lit major). I was using NLTK and some other libraries, piece-wise, but NodeBox Linguistics bundled libraries I couldn't get working/installing right at the time. (I could not afford a Mac so I was working in a Linux VM. Although its GUI is Mac-only, the NodeBox libraries aren't Mac-only. Just noting that for passers-by.)
NodeBox Linguistics proved to be critical-path to the project. And that project was formative for me, so it gives me the warm-fuzzies to encounter NodeBox again. Thank you for sharing it! I should join the forum...

I do use Mac these days but cross-platform note:
- NodeBox 1's libraries are not all Mac-only
- NodeBox GL has cross-platform libraries (though its GUI is Mac-only)
