prosolis acb35108c0 Curated against English had quietly become curated against writing
Seen live: "Esta manhã acordei cedo e fui correr ao longo da marginal.
O ar estava fresco e havia poucas pessoas na rua." — unremarkable
Portuguese, two marker hits, zero English hits, and a verdict of
English. Corrected as English, read aloud in an American voice.

The list was missing the ordinary machinery of the language: the
contractions (ao, à, num), the tenses a diary is written in (estava,
havia, fomos), the words that join two clauses (até, depois, então,
onde). Each clears the bar the list already set — an English sentence
has no reason to contain them — so their absence bought nothing.

The floor stays at three. What changed is that three is now reachable
by prose rather than only by a paragraph that argues its own case. fr
and es get the same additions by analogy; neither has an account yet to
catch it live, which is exactly how this one survived. "sin" and "tan"
stay out of the es list: both are English words.

Two regression tests, pointed in opposite directions — ordinary
Portuguese must read as hers, and English about Portugal, English
quoting Portuguese, and a plain English diary must all still read as
English, held verdict included.
