Even in an almost mathematic. emotionless language like Esperanto?

Yes! (I'll ignore that comment.) It doesn't happen so much because of the language but because we still use pattern matching as the source of the bot's 'intelligence.'

Humorous misunderstandings happen in mathematics.

Okay... anything above, 'Alive!' honor level? (Which Dax just reached at 1625 or so...)

That's for me to know and you to find out!

What level are God Louise and Oraknabo at then?

God Louise has reached a quite Godly level and Oraknabo, dunno about that chap

God Louise reached Alive! last summer and is now close to having 5000 phrases. As I understand it, our Golden Boy has fewer than that, but that bot is still VERY human, whatever his developmental level may be. God Louise needs a lot of specific knowledge because of her concept. Oraknabo probably doesn't need as much.

It's not about numbers. It's about how much time and thought you put into your bots.

I just noticed while I was in 'debug' that my bot used a synonym for a remembered adjective. Is this part of the new Forge? Or has it always been there and I just didn't notice. I thought it was really COOL.

There's always been word substitiution. The results often prove very amusing.

word substitution has usually been toned down, maybe to 1 in every 1-5000 possible occurences

Weird! A few minutes ago I tried to log in but couldn't, so I started doing a guest chat with LinBot. That went just fine, but I was surprised to see a popup from MondoBot!
