Also fixes #578 and #724.

Description

The list of personal pronouns was not complete and only consisted of 11 words. They were in a haphazard order so hard to check at a glance.

I have now included all 22 personal pronouns and possessive adjectives (which are not pronouns but very commonly mislabeled as pronouns) in the form of a table-like paradigm to ensure it includes all combinations of subject case vs object case, singular vs plural, masculine vs feminine, vs neuter, possessive pronouns, and possessive adjectives.

Some words occur in multiple positions in the paradigm but this is fine since it's much easier to check at a glance to make sure no words are missing, and the result is a WordSet that can only contains one copy of each word.

Ideally newer features of WordMetadata should be used but they are only partially implemented so the types of the pronouns are hard-coded here temporarily.

How Has This Been Tested?

I added unit tests using the sentences from the two bug reports.
It still passes all the tests in cargo test

  • I did modify one of the existing tests to what I think is a more realistic ungrammatical sentence since the existing sentence.

Checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have added tests to cover my changes
