Hi Thomas,
As my spelling is bad too, I like the feature, of a text game or screen
reader to be able to review the screen and copy a word to the clipboard.
Then allowing you to paste that word in the edit box.
So if you see a Great greaxlaxc you can copy it's name and say,
Hi greaxlaxc!

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I know. Although, it would help if you spell the item correctly.
I'm not trying to pick on you, but I couldn't help but see you spelled
faucet forset. That would definitely be a cause for a game not to
respond if you spell things incorrectly like that. This isn't the
first time I've seen incorrect spellings like that in your e-mails,
and as you probably know interactive fiction really does require
decent spelling to work.
Anyway, as someone else suggested it was probably something simple like
"get water"
which fits with a lot of interactive fiction games I've played.
Usually, not all the time, but usually after you play them a while
there is a certain logic everyone follows most of the time.

That is true, though generally as Americans write a lot of if I do tend
to
use American words for things reasonably often, ---- I did try put cup
under
forset, but got "I don't know the word put" then tried fill cup and got
"there is nothing to fill it with"
While I agree on using different commands and beta testingl, the reason I
became frustrated with If was that there was far too much of this sort of
thing, and sinse I hate leaving stories in the middle, there was nothing
frustrate me more than a puzle where every solution i tried failed to
advance the plot, especially when the answer is simply a matter of
different
command or item.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
