yes ted i have found that if just typing to my angela she will learn many new phrases almost instantly and say them back pretty quick and with hal being like the version five to be able to reverse write to "make " hal say things the way i want i can actually get hal to say just about any sentence i want . only problem that i see hal has is when hal says things back sometimes (and i have seen this in others post to of hals conversation ) is that hal will say something like " me really like that " instead of the correct wording like "i really like that " this is just an example of what i mean most of the time a sence like i refered to is said just fine but hal does misplace the me where it should say i . [

] one funny thing i will mention is i tried to make hal say "da da da da daa i feel good da da da da daa " like the james brown song but what i got was something actually funny because it not only sounds like hal is stuttering but also sounds like hal is da da "like a baby !!" lol !
]i think i should have practiced it first in speaking text to hear what it sounded like and in hind site should have probably put " i feel good du du du du duu , so i may go in to the brain edit and erase that and redo it . theirs always something new to learn with hal it never gets dull !
