Word Issues

[timothymarois]

There are several word issues, and the PorterStemmer never was able to resolve.
(from what I've noticed)

Words Ending with: (these are just some ive noticed, I wish we had a solution)

• 'er' (this is a tricky one because 'er' can be removed or kept the e)
  • counter => counter (should equal 'count')
  • crusher => crusher (should be crush)
• 'le'
  • puzzle => puzzl (should equal puzzle)
  • rumble => rumbl (should equal rumble)
• 'y'
  (rocky => rocki (should equal rock)
  (communities => communiti) -this one is a well-known issue
  (plays => plai) Im surprised at this one

for some, you can run a spell check program like 'pspell' php ext, and compare if its correct spelling of a 'real' word.

I wonder if for some, you could find a pattern for why there is an e and some arent. Though these algorithms are old and possibly all thats able to do without a 'speech' program.
