Semantics nitpick: "among" vs. "between"

Amusing to make such a comment on a "natural language checker" ... the word
"between" should only be used when comparing or contrasting two options.
If there are more than two, the proper term is "among."
Thus, Sonnet can discriminate among more than 70 languages.
Presumably it doesn't check such minor semantic points.
