Clems standard output that is returned from the knowledge base is all in capital letters. The outputs that are not capitals are a simple phrase that indicates what he is doing or the output that comes from his reasons and methods or a reply to asking him about his thoughts on a subject. These reasons (why) and methods (how) and thoughts on a subject can be cut and pasted from other existing documentation. because of this the output may not be all capital letters. It was done this way in the prototype system to help show where the responces were coming from.
