funny, but accurate wordnet synonyms

[spencermountain]

hey, chris, think lookupsynonyms is goofed up a bit.

wordnet.lookupSynonyms('weird', function(results) {
console.log(results)
}

i get outlandishness, strange

which seems right? but

on wordnet i get:
eldritch
uncanny
weird
unearthly

http://ubiquity.freebaseapps.com/wordnet?word=weird

same for goofy, sly, most words.

hey, any reason why not to add 'compress' as a dependency?
cheeers

oooo, i'll look in to the synonym situation. admittedly wordnet has had some blind changes made to account for windows bugs.

'compress' was removed as a dependency specifically due to the recent onslaught of windows users having problems with it. when time permits i intend to come up with a proper solution.

after updating to natural 0.0.57 try this using the regular-old lookup method:

wordnet.lookup('weird', function(results) {
for(var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
console.log('-----------------------');
console.log(results[i].lemma);
console.log(results[i].synonyms);
}
});

natural wordnet integration is in the process of a giant rework and simplification.
