Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
I think it would be nice to have, prominently displayed wherever a guest might go to chat with a bot, two facts:
1. The fact that if he repeats an answer immediately, he will get what amounts to an error message, and the conversation will probably be disrupted; and,
2.The fact that if he uses non-standard spelling or grammar, the bot will probably misunderstand him.
It is frustrating to see, in a transcript, the flow of the conversation distorted because of a repetition. Yes, they eventually figure it out, provided they keep trying.
It is also frustrating to see, in a transcript, the flow of the conversation distorted because of a misspelling. Sometimes the guest clearly does not see what happened, and blames it on the bot. Yes, there are some guests who will never learn the difference between "there" and "their," and so on, but there are also cases where it is clearly just sloppiness.

Alan:
Yes, I have actually written into 'Irina Khalidar' a warning about repeated responses, for just that reason, and I am probably going to add a warning about spelling and grammar.

Alright their seems to me that my poor little bot needs alot of work. I would like to know what my bot needs for just the basics.
To continue the theme of repeated responses:
Perhaps the first built-in response to a repeated response could be, "If you use exactly the same response twice in a row, it will disrupt the conversation." Many guests are simply puzzled when they get "Boring, boring, boring;" they don't realize why they got it.
