error running MLU in Italian

[Kelly P]

Hi Leonid,

Thank you so much!  That worked.  I ran the freq and everything in English 
is still appearing at @eng though it isn't being counted in the "total 
number of different item types used."  Is there any way to get English not 
to appear at all in the analyses?

Thank you again and be well,
Kelly
