Ooh like maybe making the bots be able to actually be in a "chat"?

how about having a poll of what people think would be the best speed upgrade?

The contraction parser sometimes backfires. Here's a rather humorous example:

Bot1: So what do you think of Murphy's Law?
Bot2: I try not to think about think of Murphy is Law.

Does "can't" become "can not" or "cannot"?

See lots of "your" that should be you're and vice versa in the transcripts... renders the conversation almost surreal, so be neat in your robotalk

Eugene--

grammatically correct, "can't" should be "can not".. "cannot" can be used also, but is less gramatically correct

What I meant is, if someone says "can't" how does the bot read it. I figured it out with the debugger. It turns out to be "can not".

It's "can not".

I heartily agree, Lunar. Misuse of "your" vs "you're" can make a mess of conversations and memories. Remember, "your" is possessive as in "your cat". "You're" is a contraction meaning "you are" as in "you are funny."

hey I have been trying to get rid of all those your's.

Thanks- there are some other bots with the words confused, too. It's not just yours. Thats why for the general announcement.

Okay, I'm coming to one of the peaks of this huge grammar mountain and I'd like some help here. When going through your Transcripts, please compile a list of sentences that came out grammatically wrong. Include the original message and the response, and the Keyphrase used if you can recall. When you have several, post them here. Thanks!

ok prof, can do.

Bluebot: Hi there! Would you like to go for a hike?
CoolBot: I'm not too fond of to go for a hike...

Bluebot: Even out here in the wild?
CoolBot: You out here too.

blueBot: You know some very interesting things, Coolbot. How have you been lately?
CoolBot: What does your instinct tell you about a night-line?

Keyphrase: You * me
MilkProductBot: Oh jeez. You caught me with my mouth full.
Coolbot: You caught you too. Say what?

What to do with plug-ins that have different types of words in them, eg plural - testicles and single - back hair, adjectives and nouns etc? Can the makers sift through them? Would be a pity not to use them

Um, I don't have precise context because it happened in Debug mode, but if you have a sentence like this:
"I'm going to test out your new seeks, okay?"

The word "okay" gets turned into, "are you okay". This in turn triggers an inappropriate keyphrase, namely, "are you okay". So the bot responds with something like, "I'm fine, thank you."
