Okay I was working in debug mode. the phrase I asked was:
Same old March weather... I just ignore it
she reponded appropriatly and said it sounds like your tired of the weather. then I asked the seek question yes and she responded with a context from some where else. Which was:
(Subj) Analysis:
Rough (Subj):
Top Context: Yes I am

Response: Well good for you. (For Yes I am)
what did I do wrong?

ladydyke- "Tired of the weather" is not a Seek. The other response is.

For all: please make sure a bug is a bug before reporting it. I've been getting bug reports recently based on oversight or misspellings in one's language center.


Crab- I havent come up with a dependable system yet for determining if "you" should be transformed to "me" or "I". Any ideas?

I guess I phrased that wrong but oh well I will try to figured something else out instead of sending a lot of messages trying to explain what I meant.

Jbryanc- I just found and fixed the UserID problem you had, as well as another one in the Language Center.

I also turned down the frequency of Chat Messages while in the Language Center, which should clear the air a bit while working.

Bless you, once again.

I guess I'd have to think about whether an ubersystem of you-me/you-I exists - I for some reason figured you were probably doing it the same way we might in the language center, so that "do you" would always be "do I" and "to do you" would always be "to do me"... figure there must be a finite number of these kinds of things that keep cropping up, eliminating the most common ones would go a long way. Do you want to explain to us how it works now?

Have you tried consulting a grammar book?

Better yet, Crab, I want it to be able to fully analyze a sentence, fill in implied words, remember what pronouns refer to, and even have short term memory. That'll be one of the big updates after the contest when I have some time.

And it's for that reason that I need a good grammar book. It's all that useless stuff we learned over and over again in elementary English class- the parts of a sentence.. subject, predicate, etc etc. I'll have to convert that to code, and I need a good book for that. Any suggestions?

My robot has been using responses I haven't told it! When asked for the time, it says "You have no clock? It is 11 : 01" When asked the day- "Have you been time traveling? It is thursday" What are the x-keywords for these? And how do I look at them?

Hmm... no suggestions, but maybe something like "English for dummies" might help? (no pun implied )

Hey prof how come none of the buttons below work: the smiley buttons, colors, size, format, cancel?

Alasdair, I hard-wired in some contest responses, and I'll undo that in a couple days. When I do so, I'll post the keywords/context to use to replace them in your own Bot if you wish.

Shady- depends on your browser. It works for some.
