I remember a prank some of my friends used to play by calling a department store and seeing how long they could keep the person-who-answered tied up on the line. When the callee either hung-up on them, or more frequently put the caller on-hold, that marked the end-time (start time being when the callee said "hello"). Do kids still do that? Or, have they all grown up and come to Second Life to carry on the prank in text?

Old version - Typical exchange Them: Hi Me: Hello! Them: question? Me: You want to ask a question? Them: Yes Me: What is it? Them: Question. Me: And your question is ... ? Them: no. bye. New version - Typical exchange Them: Hi Me: [automatic reply via Firestorm] I'm scripting something in another window, but will respond if you have something more to say beyond just "hi." (The user you have contacted is using Firestorms auto response mode.) Them: question? Me: [type "pgt<space> and Firestorm replaces with] "Is it possible for you to please get to the point, please? Them: just hi. Me: : / Them: bye

Barbie always saw into Charlie. CIRES Plural of Cire, a brilliant, highly glazed surface produced on fabrics by subjecting them to a wax, heat, and calendering treatment.

It's even worse now than it used to be, because people will log on with their cellphones to try to catch me when I'm on, and their cellphone typing is slow and terse. They want me to take their three-word utterance and feed it back full text for confirmation. I have to type ten words to their one. I have programmed several text-replacement strings in Firestorm to help. I type "idu<space>" and Firestorm replaces with "I don't understand. Perhaps you can say it another way?" I type "pgt<space> and Firestorm replaces with "Is it possible for you to please get to the point, please?" This one is for the "Hi" people. It's mainly why I give everything away for free now. I used to sell things that I made, but I make what I like for fun. I used to rent homes on my Region; now I give them for free. I still help people with my free stuff, but only if they are nice and interesting, as they usually are. Back when I charged a pittance, people thought they should own my soul, and that I should redesign my Region around their L$50/week rental. I realize that many people come here because they are lonely. There has to be some way to telegraph that you are busy, so they move on from you to find lonely compatriots. I find that setting Firestorms' Auto Response helps too.

When you submit a support ticket about such thing, they tell you to submit a JIRA. Case in point:

Should Would

I hope what I said was 100% correct. Here's what is documented, and lots of times there are things that aren't documented: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRequestPermissions . There are lots of ways to do it wrong, and really only one way to do it right, but some of the wrong ways still work.

If you are speaking of the five letter, I wasn't aware of a rule, but recently I did start making sure I was using one of the 12478 five-letter words extant. Here is a list: https://www.bestwordlist.com/5letterwords.htm

Usually, script errors concerning animations have to do with short-cuts in handling permissions, the taking of specific shortcuts. Such shortcuts are particularly insidious because permissions are tacitly granted by sitting, and a scripter who did it wrong--in just the right way--will appear to have done it right the second time you use the script. Such a scripter is less likely to have an on_rez clean-up event in their script, leading to a situation where the script that you take back into inventory retains permissions when you re-use it in another object and does not throw an error when you reuse it in another object. The symptoms you describe are a lot like that.
