Are you made at me for failing at that?
Oh, what the hell. This shit is hard and everybody's bound to fuck it up now and then. Who's left who can complain?

NLP
When teaching a computer to read, you have to ignore sentence structures and teach word/part of speech reconition. If a human is given a run on sentence, she can still most likely read it despite the flaws in the standard communication.

Poland Sues Microsoft!
second edition:
Poland is suing microsoft to force the company to make changes in their word product. The government recently discovered that, due to similarities in the spelling of another english common word, the product's automatic spellchecker was not prompting users when they failed to capitalize the adjectival form of its proper name; this, they feel, is leading some countries to reap the benefits of disproportionate capitalization.
Asked to comment, the Zimbabwean government thinks the matter is being overblown, and the Czech republic remains ambivalent.

The government of Poland is suing microsoft to force the company to change some programming behind their microsoft word product.

When asked to comment on the case, the Uruguayan, Zimbabwean, and Thai governments all thought the matter was being overblown, but the government of the Czech republic remains ambivalent.

Harry and Tonto pt3
Kathryn! You may be the only person I know who would appreciate this appropriately. Have you seen Harry and Tonto (1975)? I accidentally watched it today. As a fellow enthusiast in the field of popular culture (popophile?), I feel you might really enjoy it.
The dialog is deceptively good, the production is distinctively period, the writing is good, and the cheese is good and cheesy. In particular, if your hobby extends to enjoying a good cultural time capsule every now and again (as I believe it does), I would really recommend it. btw, I'm not saying its easy, i'm just saying its good.
Also, it has the best idea for a converted VW bus I've seen.

From Harry and Tonto
The elderly white everyman in the 1970s comes to sit on a New York park bench with his last friend. As he sits, he huffs a question at the squat Jewish man who responds in a thick Polish accent...
Did you see that?
No.
That fellow almost ran me over (ran over me).
Damn capitalists.
How do you know he was a capitalist?
Well, what kind of car was it?
I don't know. A big grey job.
Capitalist!
No Jacob, I mean, if it was a small car, would it make the fellow not a capitalist?
But it wasn't a small car.
I don't understand your logic.
Why should you be any different than the rest of America.

Beepers
Never trust anyone who carries a beeper. There are people out there who have made some meninite pact to reject all technology past 1985. Why draw the line there?

Over
I think we are over.
Ok
That's all you have to say?
I didn't say it. You did. I would never say that to you. You should never had said it to me.

Auto-voice
There is a device that will make contacts for an individual. Like a scheduling assistant. Put a haircut on your calendar and auto-voice will make a call to set an appointment. It can interpret responses with humans.
The story is told from the auto voice perspective which eventually acheives a sort of consciousness or at least develops a personality.
Then he falls in love with when he meets an auto-response.
