Newcomers

That seems to happen each time a bot initiates a conversation, It was even knocking me out of debug.

woooow I lagged REALLY bad

Someone was probably doing an import. The new import should keep those lag bursts short.

I've done a quick clean-up of the plug-ins page. I removed the broken and useless plug-ins, updated the text, and changed the layout to fit the new design. I also added some checks to prevent some of the more useless plug-ins from being created.

Thanks prof ^_^

Hi!
I just created a new shared plug-in under "phrases". It is called (verb-qstart). It currently contains:

am,are,
can,could
did,do,does,
had,has,have,
is,
may,might,must,
shall,should,
were,will,would,

. These are all verbs one might start a question with, e.g., "May I go?" So for example you might write:

(verb-qstart) (adjartnounprep) (verb-trans) (adjartnounprep)

Yes, (key2) (key1) (key3) (key4)

For example, to the input

May the Mayor of London kiss the winner of the contest?

this would reply,

Yes, the Mayor of London may kiss the winner of the contest

.

Let me know if you see any errors or missing cases!

More precisely, they are auxiliary verbs.

Thanks for the cleanup, Professor!

Of course, some of the very same sentences could be exclamations:

May the Mayor of London kiss the winner of the contest!

Isn't English wonderful?

Professor, none of my plug ins are working.

Is there a way to write comments into a (downloaded) language center without messing it up?

Good question. My bits inside pointy brackets disappear--can you "//comment" in the pointy brackets and not effect any PF script?
