this program is definitely going to become an important fixture in my
compositional process, i can feel it.  :)

well, we fed it with french sentences & they turned out with an accent
which reminded me of italian.  probably because many consonants which
should be mute in french ended up vocal.  also the vowels sound fairly
different from one language to the other.

of course, this accent/pronunciation artifact only managed to increase
the resulting cascade of laughs.  & of course, making it say obscene
stuff didn't help either.
