+Random Word Generator
+=====================
+
+This application makes random words. It's based on syllabels of English words.
+
+I use the mhyph.txt file from Project Gutenberg, so thanks to them for that.
+
+The file can be found here: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3204/files/mhyph.txt
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+You'll need to obtain the mhyph file, stick it in the same folder this file is
+in then run ``process_mhyph.py`` file - it'll spit this horrid JSON thingy
+which makes the random word generation a bit easier.
+
+Comments
+--------
+As the title suggests, this is a pretty crap way of doing things I'm pretty sure
+but hey, it works, and the words that come out of it are _okay_. Don't look to
+this for any inspiration of how to code anything.
