(Full code below with asterisks in place of a curse word as not sure how those are viewed on a site like this, rather be safe than sorry.)

To keep my interests while trying to learn Python, I often think up programs that, at their most basic level, should be simple enough for me to accomplish with my current knowledge base. Today I had the idea to make a random sentence generator. I understand to make PROPER sentences would be beyond me, but I should be able to pull words from lists of nouns, adjectives, etc that I've predefined (expecting it to read like a bad video game translation, but figured that would be hilarious and DEFINITELY worth my time lol) and give a general order of sentence structure using functions that look what list the word came from and then deciding logically what list the next word should come from.

That all being said, my main issue seems to stem from something with my next_word() function. I have been toying around with it in a few different ways and finally got it to "work" BUUUUT for some reason it randomly prints individual characters sometimes mid sentence. Example of some of the output I've gotten:

red pelvis l ***** b slowly n quietly a dull s Sonic t sharp o

Would you like to make another sentence?

>y

guitar slowly o skinny e spoons l smart p spicy u cold a quickly e brain u guitar s quietly l fat e shoebox u

Would you like to make another sentence?

I also realize that there may be a chance (probably a high one) that it is not properly following my sentence structure due to me not using enough variables/not implementing them properly (you'll see I commented out a #current_word = next_word so am working on that part. But, I once got "Sonic c Sonic" and I should not be able to get back to back nouns, unless the 'c' is from a valid word and is just being cut off for some reason.). Could this possibly be the cause of those stray characters printing?
