Poor @Blubbo_Baggins
You have my apologies. I never set up WTF this game was. I just assumed you all had played such things growing up. It's based off of all those text-based games like ZORK and ENCHANTER or even PLANETFALL or THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE UNIVERSE and LEATHER GODDESS OF PHOBOS. You usually only wrote 2-4 words about things you wanted to do on average. Stuff like LOOK, EXAMINE STATUE, USE SWORD ON ORC, etc.
I'll try to adjust your inquiries to emulate a more proper manner of how they would appear in such a game. And FWIW these games were quite crude and highly frustrating when they came out due to the simplicity and limitations of their design.

>ASK PRINCESS ABOUT MARRIAGE
THE PRINCESS SNIFFS HER ROSE AND RESPONDS. "I CAN NOT MARRY YOU, YOU'RE NOT ROYALTY!"

I'M SORRY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WISH TO ASK THE PRINCESS.

Hint: This response usually means that the last part of the statement isn't something the game recognizes.
