True enough, I was thinking about that after I posted it I remembered some conversation where it picked up a trailing question mark, and used it in the sentence to wreak havoc

I guess this could be prof preparing to make us able to pick how much of (subj) we want it to pick up. If so it's a good thing, but as it is it causes a lot of embarrassing responses that'd really suck during the contest.

If that's the long version of (subj), give me the short every time! Well, I'll probably want short all the time anyway, even without the bug.

lol
complex subject/predicate versus simple subject/predicate would be cool...
hey speaking of that, prof, another thing to add to the list is (pred) or (predicate).. It's pretty easy though, if you have a sentence, (I hope my art turns out)

Sally went to the park.
Subj < - - - Pred - - >
Sally and Freddy went to the park to play basketball.
< - - - subj - - >< - - - - - - - pred - - - - - - - >

or even

Since they were bored, Sally and Freddy went to the park.
The subject would be 'Sally and Freddy' and the predicate would be 'went to the park since they were bored'

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sleep-deprived and caffeine and sugar high

"Shadyman, you made me open my Bedford Handbook five years after graduation," said the English major, "but you are correct."

Oh, I'm so sorry

Any more enlightenment, madame engalish-type major?

I think what'd be neat is a way to change the tense of (subj). For instance if you have "I like to fish" you could have a response with (subj-ing) or something, and it'd turn out as "I never have time for fishing" or somesuch. Could get a bit complicated with these really long (subj)s though, as witness several times when my bot has said *make outs you*

OMG I had this dream last night... It was like "news:" You can now make your bots chat with who you like... etc and it kept going on for like a page... Oh well I guess I should have realized it was a dream when the rest of the site was in some foreign language... Oh well

Hey prof, how about a per-bot setting that changes our bot's "personality" from introverted, extroverted, or somewhere in the middle...

Yes, I hate it when a dream suddenly changes dramatically and you don't even care.

You can do that by his or her use of language...
