hedges\n\n[![Build][build-badge]][build]\n[![Coverage][coverage-badge]][coverage]\n[![Downloads][downloads-badge]][downloads]\n[![Size][size-badge]][size]\n\nList of *supposed* English (both British and American) hedge words.\n\n## Contents\n\n*   [What is this?](#what-is-this)\n*   [When should I use this?](#when-should-i-use-this)\n*   [Install](#install)\n*   [Use](#use)\n*   [API](#api)\n

[License](#license)\n\n## What is this?\n\nThis package exposes a list of [hedge][wiki] words, which are typically used\nto introduce ambiguity or indecisiveness.\n\n## When should I use this?\n\nUse this when you want to do fun things with natural language.\n\n## Install\n\nThis package is [ESM only][esm].\nIn Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:\n\n```sh\nnpm install hedges\n```\n\nIn Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```js\nimport {hedges} from 'https://esm.sh/hedges@2'\n```\n\nIn browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:\n\n```html\n\u003cscript type=\"module\"\u003e\n  import {hedges} from 'https://esm.sh/hedges@2?bundle'\n\u003c/script\u003e\n```\n\n## Use\n\n```js\nimport {hedges} from 'hedges'\n\nconsole.log(hedges.length) //=\u003e 162\n\nconsole.log(hedges.slice(0, 10))\n```\n\nYields:\n\n```js\n[ 'a bit',\n  'about',\n  'actually',\n  'allege',\n  'alleged',\n  'almost',\n  'almost never',\n  'always',\n  'and all that',\n  'and so forth' ]\n```\n\n## API\n\nThis package exports the identifier `hedges`.\nThere is no default export.\n\n### `hedges`\n\n*Roughly*, **hedges** exposes information as a list of strings\n(`Array\u003cstring\u003e`).\n\n## Data\n\nFor a complete list of supported hedge words and phrases, *like*, see\n[`data.txt`][data].\n\n\u003e 👉 **Note**: that the words listed in **hedges** are *speculated* to be\n\u003e hedges, although *perhaps* not.\n\n## Types\n\nThis package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].\nIt exports no additional types.\n\n## Compatibility\n\nThis package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.\nAs of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+.\nIt also works in Deno and modern browsers.\n\n## Related\n\n*
