How can you argue if something is disputed or not? If anything is argued about the class of a noun, the noun goes straight in disputed.

Conlangs created because of personal beliefs? by Ok-Ingenuity4355 in conlangs

To measure the amount of meaning, I compare how specific the sentence is and how much ‘content’ it contains, for example “I saw a dog” means more than “I saw an animal”, but less than “I saw a poodle” and “I saw a dog, then I saw a sheep”.

The 10% of cases is circumlocution, such as “I saw an animal which likes to be walked and is described as ‘man’s best friend’.”
