MAN

The pronominal use of ME as indefinite ONE is tagged MAN. If a given text clearly uses MAN as a pronominal, then all unmodified uses of MAN as a subject are tagged MAN. For MEN, however, which also has a pronominal use, it is too difficult to distinguish this use from other uses, and so it is never tagged MAN, but rather NS.
