Bug Description

Polygen looks fun:

Description: generator of random sentences from grammar definitions
 PolyGen is a program for generating random sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following
 custom syntactical and lexical rules.

 Formally, it is an interpreter of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret means
 executing a source program in real time and eventually outputting its result.

 Here a source program is a grammar definition, the execution consists in the exploration of such grammar by
 selecting a random path and the result is the sentence built on the way.

 Though PolyGen is quite a serious piece of software then, what else would be more noble for it than being
 used as a parody tool for linguistical habits, stereotypes and trends of this foolish era?

 Principles of parody are focusing a ridiculous topic and eventually abstracting its rules and schemes (here
 in terms of a grammar definition) by which reproducing it through the variatio device. And randomization
 is perfect at this purpose thanks to its purely asemantic behaviour =:)
