gollark: What would *geometry* look like then?
gollark: This isn't for anything where I specifically need *sentences*, but just a reasonable bit of context around a link, so it could work to just look X words left/right instead.
gollark: Especially since I just realized another really bad one, "i.e." and such.
gollark: I checked nimble directory, but there don't *seem* to be things for this, but I was hoping someone might know where there is code for it because having to work out the edge cases myself would be bad.
gollark: I was thinking something like defining a sentence as having either an end-of-string or one of !?. at the end with a space after it.
