Talk?? I ususally talk by opening my mouth and doing some other phonetic 
stuff, but even if I'd say "CU L8tr" into my mic, that stupid program would 
still type "See you later"

I think, you should not give him ascii art of the care bears... nobody 
knows what he'll do with it. You cannot give ascii art to people whose 
spelling is as confusing as his/hers... That would be irresponsible. I 
think I read something about that in the Bible or the UN Charta... It would 
be similar to giving THE BOMB to Saddam!
