There's no need for a bot. Simply have individuals set "hilight" words in their client for whatever they are familiar with.. You ethana2 could for example set a highlight on "colemak" and whenever someone says it your irc client will notify you. This of course depends on having a decent irc client, and individuals managing their own hilight lists - which seems the best course of action anyway. If "colemak" comes up you can choose whether to react and help or if you're busy, to ignore it.
