Bug Description

19:06 < distant_figure> tibid: tell TheKro on second thought, large to be safe
                        (shirt size that is)
19:06 < tibid> distant_figure: I am not connected to second
19:06 < distant_figure> marcog: ^ I know why it's happening, but that is pretty
                        annoying

He meant to send the message "on second thought..." but ibid considered "on second" to mean on source second.

How do you propose fixing this?

If there's a "TheKro" on the current network and "second" is not a known network, we could send the message including "on second " to TheKro on the current network.

surely we would rather warn the person that the network doesnt exist, i.e. if they want to say

  tell TheKro on shadowfir thought, large to be safe

But what they meant was

  tell TheKro on shadowfire thought, large to be safe

Surely this is the more common case?
