if you check modules/parser/locale_en.js, and you will see: EnParser.PRONOUNS = ["this", "that", "it", "selection", "him", "her", "them"];
So these should be the magic words. If you select a possible name, then "him" etc. will take effect. Usually only the 1st 4 words do the magic. I haven't read the whole parser code to understand the magic, but from observation, I don't think there are any significant difference between the 1st 4 words, except they will have precedence over each other in the above order, and the magic will only happen once. So if you have two "this" in the input, only the 1st will take effect. And I feel there is too much logic here, once you understand what you are doing, the magic seems ok, but for first time user, this is not friendly or it needs instruction.
