say("HELLO");

[magicyte]

A simple say("hi") reply("hi to you") type of script. Note that it is JavaScript.

function say(word)
{
if(word == "S---") reply("How dare you use such word!");
else if(word == "F---") reply("You could just say \"Whoops!\"!");
else if(word == "Maam, you dropped that anvil on your toe.") say("S---");
else if(word == "Did you remeber to mail the gas bill?") say("F---");
}

function reply(word)
{
alert(word);
}

More efficient, hehe :

<script type="text/javascript">
  var words = {
    someword: "someword reply",
    hello: "how do you do",
    "how are you doing": "test"
  }, say = function(word) {
    for (var x in words) {
      if (word.toLowerCase() == x) {
        reply(words[x]);
      };
    };
  }, reply = function(word) {
    alert(word);
  };
  say("Hello");
</script>

Actually that's less efficient (but neater, admittedly). for..in loops are very slow. Neater still, no guarantee of efficiency (but got to be better than the for..in):

var say = (function(words, v, say) {
  return say = function(sentence) {
    (v = words[(alert(sentence), sentence).toLowerCase()]) && say(v);
  };
})({
  "s---" : "How dare you use such language!",
  "f---" : 'You could just say "Whoops!"',
  "ma'am, you dropped that anvil on your toe." : "S---",
  "did you remember to mail the gas bill?" : "F---"
});

Aren't you from America, Magicyte? Your English seems somewhat non-native...

Really? This is how everybody talks in America. How does it seem "non-native"?

Wow that was really stupid of me :/ ... I'm not thinking right. I didn't think of the simple fact that you could call the value of the array with the argument in the function haha.

Things like "how dare you use such word" remind me of Engrish

[mburt]

I think that's pretty commonly used though... But my perspective probably isn't the greatest, considering all the different accents that are around here.

But 'word' is a singular countable, and 'such' expects a plural or uncountable.

I would say, "How dare you use such a word."
