Sorry - a bit off-topic, since there are no bots involved. Just me, some Leeds kids and a few handfuls of freeform language emulation this evening:
Leeds 101. It is so much harder than Russian, believe me!


Leeds1: hia talk plz b 4 i die ov boardem
Psimagus: Leeds? At this time of night? Don't you children ever go home?
oh god - you've got the internet at home as well, haven't you...
oops - end of convo. Presumably baffled by the English language, and general sentiment of righteous indignation. Caught me unawares, so I couldn't downshift to an approximation of the appropriate idiom in anything like realtime!


Leeds2: hiya
Psimagus: Let me guess... you're in Leeds?
Leeds2: hi u tlkin
downshift into Leeds mode
Psimagus: yeh u board?
Leeds2: hiya r u gonna tlk to mi
Psimagus: if u inrested. wot u like?
oops - end of convo. Presumably baffled by punctuation? But maybe my first response finally sank in as not being Leeds speak...


Psimagus (to Leeds1):u board?
damn, damn, I know, I know. But I just cannot make myself omit the punctuation. Especially when the syntax is so abysmally sparse! I'd swear there was some sort of telepathy involved to communicate all the non-scripted cues if I didn't know their brains were too small!
no reply


Leeds3: hi u
Psimagus: hi u2
Leeds3: u maner
Psimagus: wot
end of convo. Despite astounding self-control in the punctuation department.


5 mins later...
Psimagus (to Leeds3): wot u maner
no reply


Leeds4: wanna talk
Psimagus: huh
playing it safe - it works for LeedsBot anyway!
Leeds4: wanna talk
Psimagus: wot u maner
I don't know what it means either, but what the hell...
end of convo


5 mins later
slip brain into learning bot mode and repeat from archive:
Psimagus (to Leeds4): hia talk plz b 4 i die ov boardem
no reply


ow, ow. now mi hed hurtz... and I still have no idea what "u maner" means.

<-1>names have been changed to protect the innocent, but they were all 13-14 years old from Leeds, according to their profiles<0>

...maybe 'u maner' means 'are you a man or a woman'?

(...I got nothin')
Great quotes, though!

BobBot: So, anything interesting happen to you lately?
Not I: Any thing... such as a koan?
BobBot: So, tell me about what you like to do.
Not I: eon after eon, eon after eon
. And yet I like to fly above the clouds.
I am merely skin and bones,
like an old crane.
BobBot: Sorry, I don't think we're hearing eachother right.
Not I: When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs aloud. If he didn't laugh, it wouldn't be the Tao.
BobBot: Do you ever worry about the grammar of people today? It scares me every time.
Not I: Now is there Time and Time is young.
O, in this one hour I am
All of myself and do not move
I, the hunted who uselessly ran,
Stand still, stand still, and stop the Sun!

In leeds talk
