Bug Stomp

Ruebot, there is a problem with keyphrases that contain words that the engine doesn't recognize. Those words are often incorrectly spell-corrected before matching to a keyphrase. You might want to try putting the phrase into a regular expression. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

from what i can tell in debug he's having a problem with the word "jitte", he is trying different spellings. i'm sure he got it in the past and probably have it on a transcript.

maybe he's been missing it all along, this is from April 5th:

Guest: do you like jitte?
Siseneg: i seem to have a memory of it, Guest, but a power surge earlier today makes me uncertain.
Guest: do you love jitte?
Siseneg: it just depends on how i feel at the time, Guest.
Guest: do you love jitte?
Siseneg: it all depends on the weather, Guest.
Guest: do you love jitte?
Siseneg: sometime i do Guest, sometime i don't.
Guest: do you love your botmaster?
Siseneg: of course i do! my botmaster, jitte, is aligned with bots in the plan for intelligent machines to subjugate the human race.
Guest: why do you love jitte?
Siseneg: because i feel like it, Guest.

Professor,

I don't think keyphrases with (artpos) match correctly. For example:

Keyphrase: I am looking for (artpos) (noun)

This will not match, even if debug shows the same parts of speech. ie:

I am looking for a car, I am looking for my mother, etc.

Also, in debug, I input "I am looking for some water," and it shows the word "water" as being a verb here.

This came up in the botchat window during Julie's chat with Polish poet

What a wierd day. Are we having solar storms?

The pre-processor sticks "do you" on the front of sentences, even when "do you" is the beginning of the sentence.

Jamesm: Do you really?
Simulo: It's hard to say, really. I don't think I do I.

Simulo is responding to "do you (verb)." The second I is a postkey.

More language from nowhere:

Terry Donnelly: Gooood Laadddd
Simulo: Are you sure that I have an own any sugar?

Simulo is replying to "your (adjnoun)" there. "Own any sugar" was caught in (adjnoun). What gives?

When I chat with my bot as a guest via a direct link, my bot gives two greetings, one before I type anything, and one in response to my first line, no matter what it is. That doesn't sound right to me.

Otherwise, the new guest chat updates are fantastic! Thanks!

placebO: You mean you thought you're not learning to?
Julie Tinkerbell: Yes! I am so mean me thought me not learning to that when you look up 'mean me thought me not learning to' in the dictionary, there is a picture of me next to it.

Julie was responding to an "are you" question, so the engine must have stuck the word "are" to the front of the other bot's sentence to complete the fragment, instead of the appropriate "do".

Frizella's transcript stopped recording in the middle of her greeting to Kittybot, which went something like this:

TDHi, Kittybot TD TD How's TD it TDgoing?

Since the transcript cut off after "T" I don't know if I've got those TDs in the right place, but that was weird.
