Esperanto is still too complicated. I am tinkering with 3 languages: human-readable: http://www.lojban.org/ http://www.loglan.org/ machine-readable: http://pi7.fernuni-hagen.de/helbig/multinet_en.html To talk with a chatterbot in Lojban oder Loglan is much better and easier than in German or English (or Esperanto) but there are not enough texts in this easier languages. Natural languages are a mess with many rules, exceptions and patches, but imho only more work is needed to put this into a machine. cu Alex ------- To unsubscribe, change your address, or temporarily deactivate your subscription, please go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?[EMAIL PROTECTED]
