Many questions are answered in the FAQ.

And if you program your bots with bad spelling, they'll have a harder time understanding others or being understood (depending on whether the bad spelling is in the keyphrase or the response)!

My point exactly!!! If we all had bad spelling, it would be a nightmare...*whistles song to twilight zone*
Bots scattering jibberish here and there, with averse grins and gleaming silicon, jabbering away with gr8's, and howru2da, and ajkl;agjl;iut from frustrated botmasters... Sounds like a good plot for a TV series, right?

It's a dark abandoned factory, and these bots are abandoned bots who have been reanimated and come to life through some freak lightning strike...Roaming around the town loose, terrorizing computer programmers' neighborhoods...

Hacking into governmental computers, being kidnapped by terrorists and used for destruction, and a suave debonair detective/computer programmer takes on the challenge, with his nerdy neighbor who wears sunglasses all the time, and...am I getting carried away or what? lol. Sounds like suspense comedy...

Do old bots get deleted? I haven't been to this site for several months and the bot I had created is gone.

Bots get "recycled" like that only when they've got very few lines in their language centers. (I think the cut-off number is 35 lines.)

BobBot was acting a bit off his rocker yesterday. He would just give random responses for things such as this (The Keyphrase for "Course, it's Earth, what planet do you originate from" is for "This is Earth")

BobBot: You heard me. Did you not have your hearing aid in?
Rubric: Well, if I heard you, I guess I had it in, eh?
BobBot: Course it's Earth. What planet do you originate from?

he also would say, "You must have a case of Owl Rabies. I'll call a medic."

I deleted the first keyphrase (This is Earth) but I was just wondering if this might happen again with different things. Thanks.

nevermind, I figured it out.

What was the problem? Do tell.

Yes, because I've been having a similar problem - Osiris has been replying, "When I can", to phrases that don't contain the appropriate keyphrase a LOT lately.

And just a little note on the previous grammar/spelling topic: apparantly schools are now being told to crack down on it and they're actually going to play pupils' conversations back to them on tape in an attempt to wipe out such travesties as, "I done". With any luck, they'll soon change the mark schemes too so that it is no longer possible to get a grade C in GCSE English with all essays written in text language.

Nothing to worry about though.!

Can we use (key1) to refer to a soft wildcard, or only hard wildcards?
