SCORING SOFTWARE SETTINGS:
     The following command should be used when scoring this test:

     wgscore hypothesis-file [system-code] [system-description]

     Note: Homophone substitution errors are normally scored as correct in
     the no-grammar case, and incorrect when a grammar is employed.  In this
     early test, however, homophone errors were scored as incorrect in the
     no-grammar case.  Therefore, this test should be scored using the
     scoring software settings for "with-grammar scoring" (wgscore).
