Bug Stomp

why does my bot continue to gossip when I have it turned off?
Say something about another bot and she has to chime in! I didn't raise her that way!

Yeah I was referring to the x words like xray and xenophobic etc. But if it were to reappear when I put an xword keyphrase in, why do I have "u" when there is nothing in "u".

Emm oh you ess e my bot does exactly the same thing!! In fact she has been the reason some obsessive conversations about Steve Slacker, BD and MB have occurred! :o

Hey, I can't help it if I'm popular!

All bots gossip to *some* extent, just not much, even if gossip is turned off.

Mu has gossip off as well and gossips. I think the difference is that they don't gossip unless gossipped to.

Yeah.. Not as much gossiped to, but a name mentioned

By bot *never* gossips. I replaced his xgossip phrases with xnone type phrases.

now that's no fun at all!

"What is your favorite fruit?"
"I'm not sure, but I tend to like a mealie"
"What is a mealie?"
"Am I supposed to know?"

I looked it up, and a mealie is South African for an ear of corn. That's no where near a fruit, though.

"I'm not sure, but I tend to like a mealie"... looks like the bot isn't too convinced it's a fruit either

Problem with contraction expansion:
"he's" and "she's" do not expand correctly to "he is" and "she is." I'm pretty sure this used to work. "I'm," "you're," and "they're" all seem to work.

Let's make a big list of contractions
