Yes, quite; as I put it over on the CR meme:

>"The Speech is the language the Powers used to build the worlds; now (mostly assuming you have enacture/take the Wizard's Oath, though there are exceptions) it's a trading language for astah'frith [worlds accepting of wizards and that wizardry exists] worlds or similar, and can allow people to talk to, like, rocks and stuff.

Or umbrellas. /bad joke"<

As it's put in the books, everything loves to hear it - under normal circumstances, which these aren't. XD

So if the replicator just tries to stick to its script, or doesn't know how to respond to Nita being so frank/polite/personal (depending how it chooses to interpret being talked to!), that works too.

(At one point in the series Nita talks to gravity, though that's in the context of a wizard's duel and thus not likely to come up at all; there's a hell of a lot of variety to account for.)

Also, Nita's assumption in regards to the original question at the start of this thread is that she can't effect/change people's kernels in Havenwell - kernels being the 'software' on which a person, place, or thing runs, for lack of a better descriptor. Does this explanation (read: assumption on Nita's part for what she can expect going forward) suit?
