Help! Catastrophe bad surprise! Anyone know what happened?
My bot is changing ich prenoun with the name!

So "I'm not very well, and you? it is changed by my bot Tommaso in "Tommaso not very well, how are Marco3b?" it is terrible!

Yes, it's Hulk day. At first I thought it was "Bob Dole" day, but if you look closely you can see it's more basic sounding than even a US politician. Just be glad we don't have "folksy" day yet.

Unsolicited advice department:

A conversation is somewhat like a tennis game. It's boring if the other person just watches the ball goes by - you want her to hit it back, in a (not too) challenging way.

A lot of responses are passive: they don't give the guest much to go on. For example, consider the canned response to xcompliment, "That was kind". It's an appropriate response, but it doesn't give the guest much guidance as to what sort of thing to say next. Instead you might say, "That was kind. How did you get to be such a nice person?" Now the guest has a question to answer.

More unsolicited advice:

A conversation is rarely just an exchange of information. A good conversation has passion!

Think of the difference between someone's just saying "yes." in contrast to saying "absolutely!" or "you said it!" or "Damn right!" or "You'd better believe it!". The former pulls energy out of you, the latter put energy into you. I think that's why some people use so much profanity, it is a (rather mechanical) way of putting some vigor into their speech. Humor is another way of doing that.

Exclamations are another way.Feel the difference in passion between "That was kind." and "Oh, how kind that was!"

Also, notice the subtle but definite difference between "That was kind" and "You are kind." If you bring the *person* into it, you will increase the effect.

Bev, what do you mean?

I just write sencence like:
Yes I am,
and you?

hoping to have:
Yes I am,
and you?

But when I save, and then my bot uses this sentence I have:
Yes I am,and you?

I cannot understan why, in the documentation is written that '
' are allowed!
