Prof, the new features are amazing! I am especially excited about word-types in keyphrases, which is exactly what we had been talking about before.

Hope you can follow my gibberish and it's at all useful.
Going along the lines that the prof suggested in the information on the new features page I thought I'd experiment with the "do you..." form.
So, with some experimenting I tested this sentence:
do you quite need to dry the dishes with a rag?
But I wanted to be tricky and have a wildcard for both verbs ("need to" and "dry"). This didn't work out so well. Here's what I did:
Key: do you (adverb) (verb) (verb) * with
Response: Of course I (key1) (key2) (key3) (key4) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.
Which didn't work. However the more simple (yet less flexible):
Key: do you (adverb) need to (verb) * with
Response: Of course I need to (key1) (key2) (key3) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.
did work, yielding "Of course I need to rather dry the dishes with a rag, it sounds like such fun."
(also note "quite" was turned into a "rather" and is in the wrong place?)
Prof, is there a problem with having two verbs together like this, or is it just something I've done that I can't see?
Its all so encouraging though.
(sorry about the babble, but as an aside, I replaced "quite" with "really" in my question and got: "Of course I need to truly dry the dishes with a shred, it sounds like such fun." Is there a thesaurus at work here?)

Prof, with the script to autochange them, you'd have to determine which use (subj) is being used in...
IE
if there is a wildcard
if there is no wildcard
etc
which to switch it to, respectively

Just after I write that post I figure out something that works (maybe not always)
Key:do you (adverb) * (verb) * with
Respose: Of course I (key1) (key2) (key3) (key4) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.
giving:"Of course I really need to dry the dishes with a rag, it sounds like such fun."
Anyway, back to my hole

Or simpler yet, as you may be getting too complex with it: 
Keyphrase: do you * with
Response: Of course I (key1) with (postkey), it sounds like such fun.
More flexible, more simple.
Here's one I was trying last night. I'm going to split Keyphrase "i am" into two:
Keyphrase: "i am"
Response: Even the monkeys are (postkey)!
Keyphrase: "i am (adj)"
Response: "Really? They call me '(key1) Jack!'"
So you can do more with it. Clearly the second wouldnt work if someone said "I am a doctor". But it works well in the right circumstance, such as "I am silly!"
I started working on this last night, and realized how much easier this would be to do with the export/import working, so I'm working on that next.

Yay for export/import! Get that working, and I think it's time for me to break out my credit card for you again.
