MLU not including xxx

[Brian MacWhinney]

Rasmus,
      The rules for MLU require exclusion of utterances with xxx.  If you want to get around this, I would recommend just changing xxx globally to xyz.  If you are using the %mor line, you might also want to add xyz to the lexicon.

I would like MLU to include these utterances in the count, but even when adding +xxxx or +x"xxx" to the MLU command, all utterances containing any xxx are skipped and the MLU returns only a count for those utterances without xxx. This happens both when running MLU on the main tier (-t%mor) or the %mor tier. I am using the latest version of CLAN.
