More Custom Slots woes

I really wish the custom slots worked better. I guess that they have to be regimented a bit to return values that aren't explicitly given. But it's sort of a guessing games what's actually going to come out. "living room" gets returned "living-room" A custom slot with these values one second two seconds three seconds, etc returns... 1/2 2/2 3/2 I love the way that the custom slots reduce the number of utterances needed as samples, but it's a bit hit and miss for me whether they actually give me anything useful.

Good news! We've deployed fixes to both the issues Steven reported. Now 'living room' will return 'living room' and 'two seconds' will return '2 seconds'. Thanks.
