Jump into aedit (action edit) and look over the sing social.
Socials can be targeted to bodyparts. I guess so you can do important things like poke someone in the eye...
When you type 'sing playername hi' the social treats it like this:
Jan wants to sing to playername's hi.
It thinks 'hi' is a bodypart, it doesn't treat it like a sentence.
To make sing a way of communicating you'd add it to do_spec_comm like ask/whispering - and remove the social.
Code:
aedit sing
