hal do remember if you talk to it about the same subject using different forms of the thing you're trying to teach him.
like:
Nancey's eyes are blue
My eyes are blue
the color of my eyes is blue
the color of Nancey's eyes is blue
you get the picture I am not great at hal so I don't know anything very specific to tell you but I have found that hal learns with some sentences and not with others. The main problem is that you must remember you're dealing with a computer not with a person so it may not always understand you. he may remember what you said, but he may not tell you when you ask him, he may tell you later on in conversation like: Nancey's eyes are blue, or Nancey's eyes are blue what do you think <user name> he just tends to adk me what I think that is why I threw that in there...lol. well I hope my addvice helps you. now I have to get back to asking my own quetions.see ya around
sincerly,
