Hi Martin! By trial and error, I finally made it, and the results are exactly the same as yours! (except for the straightforward binomial hits -- mine is 22794, and yours is 22799. This is just because you used "N..", and I used "NN." for the search of nouns, and it is not a big deal.) I have one last question: why do you use ?* (instead of * alone) in "?* and " and " ?*"? I tried both, and didn't find any difference.

Hi Martin! Could you please mention any paper that cites the same formula of fixedness you depended on?

Thank you so much Martin! You and your videos are truly inspirational! (Don't worry about the surname. I know, I know haha)
