Bug Stomp

Regarding dropped seeks, some of Sonora's are not working:

Sonora: Can I offer you a tarantula leg?
Julie Tinkerbell: You're so nice to offer to share your tarantula leg! I like you, Sonora.
Sonora: Thanks! *hands over a plateful of live beetles*
For you!

She has an xnomatch seek for the "offered tarantula leg" that was ignored.

But here:
Sonora: You remind me of the shipping!
Julie Tinkerbell: What shipping?!
Sonora: The shipping with the power!
Julie Tinkerbell: What power?!
Sonora: The power of voo-doo...
Julie Tinkerbell: I really enjoy talking with you about technology and computers.
Sonora: Oh, c'mon! Play along!

All of Sonora's seeks came up, but it looks like Julie's didn't. *shrugs* The "play along" comment comes off of an xnomatch seek, so it works SOME of the time.

Fizzy's "voo doo seek" never works either.

Is this just a frightening spellcheck?

Homeschool: I like homestarrunner.com.
Westerlin Man: That's interesting. Are you and author is name together often?

Ulrike- with regard to that last exchange you posted- what a shame. Julie's "seek: voo-doo, voodoo, voo doo"
was ignored. zut.

My seek is "the power of (*)". You'd think that would pick up any spelling of voo-doo.

You'd think.
strange

When I tested the routine talking to him in debug, it worked perfectly.

Can you use raw mode to specify "voo-doo"?

tried that

I was just poking around in debug, and "voo-doo" seems to trigger some alarming confusion for the spell-processor -- though debug decided just to treat it as it was, and it spit the word back to me in a (postkey) with no trouble.

I wonder whether conversations are working differently from debug.

http://www.personalityforge.com/botland points to sarpadia-isle.local for some reason.

the phrase "in your dreams" is converted to "no" for some reason.
