Odd, isn't it? This is what you get if you use today's popular translation program to go from English to French and back, starting with: "The sea is home to billions of plants and animals." So how did "plants" become "factories"?
Many English words have more than one meaning: a plant can mean either a factory or a living organism. A table can mean something you sit at or something with rows and columns. And unless we help out, computers do not know which meaning is right in a given sentence.
The good news is that now you can make a difference! We've put together a free online word game where You can use your expertise and teach computers about word meanings. And, if you like our site, we hope you come back to teach some more!
