Shannon's Journal

[Shannon]

I was just looking over the Anger management program's script, and realized something interesting, now that I'm not so loopy anymore. The omission of the word "of" in the particular location SubTest found it ["I now completely disconnect from, let go, release and reject of frustration, and I remain completely calm, tranquil and peaceful instead."] actually works as English. It's an unusual and secondary usage where the word "of" is implied, but it is valid. In this case, the effect is to say "I now let go my frustration". The grammar works because the "of" is implied. This form is more archaic and would be more likely to be found in something written a few hundred years ago, but because we still teach works of literature from those periods, we still see this occasionally.

That basically means there is technically no error, but I am going to rebuild the program anyway. The point of posting the scripts is to show you what's going on so you'll feel comfortable using the programs. I know some of you are just as particular as I am, and even something like this would be unsettling. So... today I will start posting the scripts for the programs that were found to have errors, and we can all have fun looking for errors that SubTest missed. Somehow, I doubt any further problems will be found.
