This paper proposes a method for detecting errors in article usage and singular plural usage based on the mass count distinction. First, it learns decision lists from training data generated automatically to distinguish mass and count nouns.

Why Qt? Why do programmers like us choose Qt? Sure, there are the obvious answers: Qt’s single-source compatibility, its feature richness, its C++ performance, the availability of the source code, its documentation, the high-quality technical support,and all the other items mentioned in Trolltech’s glossy marketing materials. This is all very well, but it misses the most important point: Qt is successful because programmers like it.

However, superior performance in the past does not necessarily mean that it will continue into the future. This is because superior performance may be due to either a manager’s skill or good luck.

Getting back to 2003, I was still a top producer in sales but simply wanted a change. I’d been selling for too long and had no desire at all to get into sales management.

I sat at my computer from a Friday afternoon through Sunday evening with no sleep at all and put my system on paper. Over the next week I recorded two full-length audio CDs to go...
