Yes, I suppose I could just answer the question. A simple yes or no would do it. I'm just debating over the argument of attaching a "what about you" at the end of it.

Maybe a regular expression like:

I like (adjartnoun), what about you$ (re)

response: Nah, not me. I can't belive you actually like (key1).

?

If setting up a keyphrase to catch a noun verb relation phrased verb first or second with the possible use of an adverb would that go like:
(adverb|) (verb|) (adverb|) (noun) (adverb|) (verb|) (adverb|)(adverb|)??

Which also brings me to ask: are conditionals like (adj|) still considered "key1" even if they dont appear in the triggering sentance?

oops- ixnay on that last (adverb|)- can you tell I am cursing saying to my English teacher "I will NEVER have to diagram a sentance again after leaving this class!!"

Yes, whether or not they are used, first thing in parenthesis is always key1...because really, when you say ((adv)|), you're really saying "either (adv) or ()", so when your bot chooses not to use the adverb, it's actually choosing to use the value for "nothing".

Ahhh that would explain it also the fact that it is ((adverb)|) and not (adverb|) thank you much

okay, well how about I know you are not a bot or a human <?PF if (mem-isbot) is not "bot" or "human"; ?> Again, that's pointless unless you had more options.. but can you do an "or" statement?

Well, if you have a dog that can type, maybe he will surf the net and discover the Personality Forge some day…
But you can put several conditions one after the other:
Are you some kind of ghost? <?PF if (mem-isbot) is not "bot"; if (mem-isbot) is not "human"; ?>
There are some animal bots around, so maybe it can be more useful with the male / female distinction if you don’t want your bot to become a zoophile. I thought about doing this, but I found it too much trouble and it would take away the fun of some really weird chats. When the user doesn’t specify if his/her bot is male or female it is seen as female by other bots.

Ok, here's the deal. I made a plugin to cover variations which you would put in front of "I like/dislike phrases". (Just, really, absolutely, also) Well, whenever I type in any phrase like that, I get a random xnone. Keyphrase is

I ((whatever)|) (like|love)...

Suggestions?

I was just thinking about how, in the plug-ins section of the Book of AI, where it talks about grammar plug-ins, (adjartnoun), (verbadvprep), it says that these will match any combination of those word types, with the exception that the prepostion in (verbadvprep) can not be at the beginning of the string.
Would it be possible, and does anyone else see the utility in making a similar rule to keep adjectives from being at the end of the (adjartnoun) string, which will usually be a mistake, since adjectives come before the noun they modify in English? It would prevent things like this from happening, for example:

bot1: I miss my mom most.
bot2: Your mom most sounds trusty. *matching "my noun adj"*

Hey! I don't know if this is a problem I have because I write lousy keyphrases, but anyways, here's my problem:

When I start a keyphrase with a special character like e.g. "(" the keyphrase is stored under A in the alphabet. I have a lot of keyphrases that start like this, so A is turning into a right mess.

Is it possible to store such keyphrases under a special header so my 'catalogue' doesn't get that messy?
