:-) but you would have done it the long way anyways... it just lets you take less time and get on with making a fool out of yourself, I gues. :-) Potentialy allowing you more time to realise that you are wrong... anyways, if I always use 'get as the word which is equal for 'load... I guess I am not using 'get for something else. if I am, there is some context which is changing its meaning... I think THAT is the key to natural interface. If your application can properly understand the context of the word, then the actual word is irrelevent. you can pluck out many words out of many sentences without affecting the meaning, because there is an inherent context. A surgeon saying "open" to a nurse while working probably isn't saying the same thing as the doorman when he is told to `open. I think this is where rebol's dialecting shines. If Q can detect patterns and quietly change or adapt the dialect then saying something might not produce the same result all the time. if something is said which is out of context, then the application (like any human) should simply ask "is this what you mean?". Or say "I don't get that, aren't we currently doing XXXXX" where XXXXX is the current context (dialect). This is also the way Q could fix your typos, by actively asking you if you really meant something, at least you know it understood you. philosophical discussions are so enlightening :-) -MAx > Does the engine assume that the human as > teacher always knows what is correct? > > Anton. > > > if repetitive patterns occurs, it should ask if a specific item > > is equivalent to something else... so that you can interchange > > its expected word and yours without ill effect in any of its > > language. an example is that if you always say open instead of > > load, eventually it could catch this and ask you if open is > > equivalent to load... > > > > If Q is supposed to be all about helping in a natural manner, > > maybe it should learn to help its user help himself. ;-) > > > > Maybe some of this is already part of Q, but I'm just throwing my > > ideas on the wall as they occur to me... > > > > HTH in any way! > > > > Q idea is nice. > > > > -MAx > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject. > > -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
