Thinking about it, even when I play games which do allow me to say the
most contorted things, a transcript of my commands would look just
like something from a two-word game. The only exception would be the
"turtle, follow me" kind of syntax you need to talk to people in
infocom games.

Do people _really_ make very frequent use of the full power of
advanced parsers?
