def self.action(chance=0)

end

.adjective(chance = 0) ⇒ Object

Parts of speech functions to return a random word from the arrays and return it if chance==0 or if a random integer between 0 and chance-1 equals 0. The (chance==0) check is to optimize by preventing the rand(chance) call when not required. So for a 1 in 7 chance call with chance=7.
