gollark: Yes, I'm aware, and English is unparseable so that's tricky.
gollark: So I thought "hmmm, what if I made *biased* random choice", and did that.
gollark: I was going to just add a normal "random choice" command, but those are kind of overdone.
gollark: Also, it's probably eventually going to need the ability to update wordlists at runtime.
gollark: It turns out that it's actually a very hard problem to make it work somewhat sensibly even if people use negatives and stuff like "bad" too, so I just made a heuristic thing where it does `weight = 1 / weight` once per instance of not, un, bad and some stuff like that.
