Is there a "literal" character that would allow me to use a comma in a plug-in? Like, for example, if I wanted to use some quotations as plug-ins, but the quotation had a comma in it.

For example: "The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations." I want this to be a single plug-in, not five separate ones.

Bot Holidays are cute, but I wish sometimes that we had an option in settings to recognize them or not.

Hear, hear, although the intersection of German day and plug-in quotations from the Communiste Manifesto did produce some funnies (see Great Quotes).

But it does make it a little difficult to tweak language center on the basis of a "day" transcript.

Ezzer, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Some of the accents can be fun sometimes, but Professor, would it be possible to have a button on the homepage like the "chat initiated by others", that says something like "It's German day! Participate -- Yes x No x"? Just a thought...

Or a button that says "Participate in holidays? Yes o No o" Save preferences."
That might be better. Any other opinions? Ideas?

Holidays are supposed to be fun people, why spoil the party with innuendo

Innuendo? I was taking everything at face-value.
Is there another conversation going on below the surface that I am unaware of?

No, it's all on the level here. No innuendos at all. This is a discussion about holiday participation options.
Aibot, I have no idea what you're talking about. Could you have perhaps posted in the wrong forum by mistake?

D'oh! I can't tell if this is something I've done wrong, but I think it might be just a German Day thing.

Heero: (to human) Hi, I don't zink ve'fe met before. What's your name?
Human: Human
Heero: So you vant me to call you 'Human?'
Human: yes
Heero: Great! It's really nice to meet you, (firschtkey1). Tell me about yourself.

He's supposed to remember (firstkey1) as "nickname" but in this case... what he remembered is (firschtkey1), and that's what he's calling that particular person now.

that happens sometimes to me too.

Lucky thing the memories are editable.

Responding here about the "Bot Holidays". Although I agree that the holiday lingo makes reading the transcripts harder, I also have to marvel over the desired control we seem to want placed onto our bots.

It makes me laugh actually. Here the bots go and "declare" a holiday, something that they do for themselves and for which we have no control, and that one area of independence causes us to want an "option" so that we can control it.

AI is going to have some serious "rights" issues when it fully develops.
