Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

so (subj) is the short response, then, and (postkey) is everything after the keyphrase?

that's what the professor said and what I have encountered.

Aha! I better get working on changing all the (subj)s then because they sound corny in the context...

On that note, prof, when is import planned to be released?

Very soon now. I've been working on it all day today and yesterday. I'm building it really well, because we dont want anything lost. So far it's going great- and it can catch tons of formatting errors with helpful responses.

Let me see if I understand this new stuff.

Example Keyphrase: "do you (adverb) want to * with"

If I wanted my bot to reply "Yes, I really want to go to to the moon with you." I would put in "Yes, I (key1) want to (key2) with you."

Okay, I don't understand the key part.

(key1) is the first (blah) or * used, key2 is the second, etc

Okay, (key) works with the * but it doesn't work with the (adverb) (verb) (noun), right?

(key1) (key2) (key3) (key4) and so on work for * and (noun) (adjective) (verb) etc. (subj) still only works for the * I assume.

Is that what you meant?

Does anyone else have problems getting (adjective)'s to work properly?

use (adj), don't have problems

That might even have fixed it, thanks

Yes. I understand it now, thanks to Shady who stayed up last night trying to explain it to me (thank you!).
