## What is this?

This package exposes a list of [hedge][wiki] words, which are typically used

to introduce ambiguity or indecisiveness.

## When should I use this?

Use this when you want to do fun things with natural language.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].

In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with [npm][]:

```sh

npm install hedges

```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js

import {hedges} from 'https://esm.sh/hedges@2'

```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html

  import {hedges} from 'https://esm.sh/hedges@2?bundle'

```

## Use

```js

import {hedges} from 'hedges'

console.log(hedges.length) //=> 162

console.log(hedges.slice(0, 10))

```

Yields:

```js

[ 'a bit',

  'about',

  'actually',

  'allege',

  'alleged',

  'almost',

  'almost never',

  'always',

  'and all that',

  'and so forth' ]

```

## API

(`Array`).

[`data.txt`][data].

> 👉 **Note**: that the words listed in **hedges** are *speculated* to be

It exports no additional types.

## Compatibility

As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+.

It also works in Deno and modern browsers.
