Re: Are you fishermen missing laughing among the trees?
Great tool! If you were string all of those sentences together, they would resemble a typical paragraph under the "Findings" section of Harper's Magazine, the difference being that your sentences are easier to decipher.

I agree. When I read a sentence by Rafil Kroll Zaidi like this one: “Vanilla yogurt gives mice glossier coats and larger testicles", I was really surprised to know that there are scientific studies about such things!
....added vanilla yoghurt to shopping list.

That's how I read those two sentences.

Re: Are you fishermen missing laughing among the trees?
Interesting range of sentences. Keep it going long enough and you'd eventually get Chomsky's "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously."
Maybe useful at some stage to test language proficiency, to see how many sentences you could translate into your target language?
It seems like a fairly high percentage of these sentences have negated verbs. I wonder if it makes 50% affirmative sentences and 50% negative? Or 33% each affirmative, negative, and questioning?

Re: Are you fishermen missing laughing among the trees?
First I made some sentences from the material the machine proposed, and after that I have tried to teach it French, but when I pressed 'refresh words' it put rubbish in all the fields instead of my carefully selected French words. OK, then I did the whole thing once again, but it obstinately adds some grammar words from English and I also forgot to change some of the items so the final result isn't quite correct - I definitely did NOT count money in any street at 9:21:
Do Sam and Dave almost always count money on the street?
Are Sam and Dave very famous?
My answer: yes, they are bloody idiots so they have become big stars on Youtube
They are sont en train de jouer now.
Please jouez sur l''autoroute.
They joue sur la route at least twice a day.
I have counted money sur la route at 9:21.
