Suspiciously, "ominous" has a positive score

richierocks opened this issue · comments

The word "ominous" has a score of 3, indicating that it has positive sentiment.

This seems counterintuitive to me. By comparison, the Bing lexicon considers it to be a negative word, and the NRC lexicon associates it with "anticipation", "fear', and "negative" sentiments.

Is there a possibility that the score for "ominous" is incorrect?

I think it might be a typo. -3 seem to be a more appropriate score.
