issue with punctuation marks, "!"

[axos88]

Sometimes ago is not interpreted correctly, and the date is calculated into the future instead of the past.

scala> new PrettyTimeParser().parse("4 hours ago!");
res2: java.util.List[java.util.Date] = [Mon Apr 25 17:44:29 CEST 2016]

scala> new PrettyTimeParser().parse("4 hours ago");
res3: java.util.List[java.util.Date] = [Mon Apr 25 09:44:31 CEST 2016]

scala> new PrettyTimeParser().parse("4 hours ago !");
res4: java.util.List[java.util.Date] = [Mon Apr 25 09:44:34 CEST 2016]

scala> new PrettyTimeParser().parse("4 hours ago.");
res5: java.util.List[java.util.Date] = [Mon Apr 25 09:44:37 CEST 2016]

scala> new PrettyTimeParser().parse("4 hours ago!");
res6: java.util.List[java.util.Date] = [Mon Apr 25 17:44:40 CEST 2016]

i encountered the same problem when trying the example from the website:

List<Date> dates = new PrettyTimeParser().parse("I'm going to the beach in three days!");

it actually parses the date wrong (giving me current day at 3 o'clock instead) when there is another symbol attached to the "days". Without any punctuation it works fine.

The underlying parser library com.joestelmach/natty seems to be outdated since the latest version of natty can parse words connected to punctuation whereas the natty code that comes with prettytime-nlp:4.1.0 doesn't parse this correctly.

Natty has been updated in Version 5.
