Invalid Parsing

Open halffloor opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

“JOSEPH J MA SR” is parsed as below

FNAME : JOSEPH LNAME: J SUFFIX: MA SR

instead of

FNAME : JOSEPH MNAME: J LNAME: MA SUFFIX: SR

This specific example is likely due to "MA" being interpreted as Master of Arts, which is included in the list of suffixes.

A simple fix would be to curate the list of suffixes, which #18 requests. A more involved change could be to be more strict with suffixes, such as requiring more proper suffixes (eg, "ph.d." instead of "phd", or in this example, "m.a." instead of "ma").
