English en_core_web_sm tagging and parsing errors

[thedataist]

Doing some large scale testing, so noting general errors in POS tagging and dependencies observed in the most recent en_core_web_sm that should likely be trained out. We train these out on our own models, but if it is useful I'll pass them on here if I feel like they should be part of the core models.

• Short expressions of times in the format "1am","2am", etc., are being split into the numeral and "am", with the "am" then tagged as a verb or noun with an inappropriate dependency. Correct parse should likely be the "am" tagged as an adjective with a num_mod dependency on the numeral. FYI - looks like a lot of inconsistency on tagging and parsing of "a.m." and "p.m." as well.

• The word "spanish" is being tagged as an adjective in all contexts, e.g. in "does she speak spanish", spanish is returned as an adjective instead of a noun
