Hope you can follow my gibberish and it's at all useful.

Going along the lines that the prof suggested in the information on the new features page I thought I'd experiment with the "do you..." form.
So, with some experimenting I tested this sentence:

do you quite need to dry the dishes with a rag?

But I wanted to be tricky and have a wildcard for both verbs ("need to" and "dry"). This didn't work out so well. Here's what I did:

Key: do you (adverb) (verb) (verb) * with
Response: Of course I (key1) (key2) (key3) (key4) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.

Which didn't work. However the more simple (yet less flexible):
Key: do you (adverb) need to (verb) * with
Response: Of course I need to (key1) (key2) (key3) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.

did work, yielding "Of course I need to rather dry the dishes with a rag, it sounds like such fun."

(also note "quite" was turned into a "rather" and is in the wrong place?)

Prof, is there a problem with having two verbs together like this, or is it just something I've done that I can't see?

Its all so encouraging though.

(sorry about the babble, but as an aside, I replaced "quite" with "really" in my question and got: "Of course I need to truly dry the dishes with a shred, it sounds like such fun." Is there a thesaurus at work here?)

Prof, with the script to autochange them, you'd have to determine which use (subj) is being used in...
IE
if there is a wildcard
if there is no wildcard
etc

which to switch it to, respectively

Just after I write that post I figure out something that works (maybe not always)
Key:do you (adverb) * (verb) * with
Respose: Of course I (key1) (key2) (key3) (key4) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.

giving:"Of course I really need to dry the dishes with a rag, it sounds like such fun."

Anyway, back to my hole

Or simpler yet, as you may be getting too complex with it:

Keyphrase: do you * with
Response: Of course I (key1) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.

More flexible, more simple.
Here's one I was trying last night. I'm going to split Keyphrase "i am" into two:

Keyphrase: "i am"
Response: Even the monkeys are (postkey)!

Keyphrase: "i am (adj)"
Response: "Really? They call me '(key1) Jack!'"

So you can do more with it. Clearly the second wouldnt work if someone said "I am a doctor". But it works well in the right circumstance, such as "I am silly!"

I started working on this last night, and realized how much easier this would be to do with the export/import working, so I'm working on that next.

Yay for export/import! Get that working, and I think it's time for me to break out my credit card for you again.

I think it's time for me to break out the export/import editor i made
Of course it's free for PF users

Cool! Sounds like fun.

Won't be out for a day or a few.. Still have to see how goes it

Explain yourself! What is this editor of yours?

22 years ago #1680
Only if you bribe me with chocolate cake.

22 years ago #1681
A cho-a-who? Cake??? You're out of your tiny mind. Do you really think cake can fit through these little wires between us? All the icing would fall off! Get a grip, Mr S!

Oh, ok. Spare the icing. Just the beef, then.
