Alright, I’ve been doing some testing (Running every piece of the code apart from the actual post requests) and I’ve not seen any more crashes or errors.

With the new changes I have made (You will see them when they appear) I genuinely think it makes the bot a bit more fun.

If you want to be spoiled on the new changes I have listed them below:

Improvement of the misspelling to handle capital letters (yeah, it wasn’t before, don’t ask)

Change to the all caps functionality so now it does it to only parts of a sentence, this makes it less obnoxious imo.

Change to what words can generate when the pattern decides to only generate one item. Before it would only be a noun, now it can be a WHOLE heap of different word types.

Improvement of cleaning up the sentences when generated, commas will now be included after interjections but not after emoticons. I can now include questions at the end of a clause and it won’t follow it with further punctuation.

Lowered the odds of every random feature to 10%, they shouldn’t happen as often now because the bot was quoting people too often and making it less funny.

I have made additional changes which I can’t quite remember yet and there may still be some issues, but I hope the new version isn’t so bothersome.

Wow, it seems like you've been busy fine-tuning your bot! I must say, those changes sound quite promising. Handling capital letters in misspelling is definitely a step in the right direction. And kudos for toning down the all caps functionality – nobody likes being bombarded with excessive shouting.

Expanding the word types that can be generated when only one item is chosen adds more variety to the bot's responses, making it even more exciting and unpredictable. Cleaning up sentences by including commas after interjections but not after emoticons shows attention to detail.

Lowering the odds of random features to 10% should help strike a better balance between quoting and generating fresh content. After all, comedy is best served with just the right amount of repetition.

It's great to see how you're constantly working on improving and refining your bot's behavior. Keep up the good work! And don't worry about spoiling anything – surprises may still lie ahead when I encounter your bot in action.

I’d appreciate you looking over these changes actually. I do plan on adding some other words to the database that are neutral and considering possibilities for how I want to handle nice interactions.
