Disclaimer: If we have visually impaired baiters out there, I mean no offense at all by this modality. More power to you.

I'm playing with a check scammer who totally believes I'm legally blind, so we both have to type our emails in a ridiculously large typeface. (It's even bigger than that). My char also uses voice recognition software, so my emails are riddled with mistakes. Still he's been very compliant, even after such as this:

Mister Micheal:

Hello. My diasability aide took mme to the Office Supplies store. We were dazled by the selecttion of versa producst availabl on the shelve which of these am i suppose to be using from these list they gayve uss:?

34IUV (VersaJette 34 and Lexmark 32 compatible)
Part# VIUVI-2293...

(...followed by a catalog of about 300 different types of printer inks in same gigantic font...)

It was over 130 screens. He must have gone through it all, because I stuck something in the middle and he responded to it, using the same huge font. Very Happy

Maybe he's smart and shrinks it all down before reading, but still amusing to see him shouting back at me.

I'm glad you came back, bohigal. You always seem to come up with more funny ways to annoy the lads, and amuse us. Smile

I think it's hysterical! Laughing

I haven't tried voice recognition software lately. The last time I tried it, the results were - well, not quite as you portray it, but just as laughable and just as confusing. I stick to typing, as long as I can feel the keys on the keyboard. Wink

Even at the demo for Vista's built in software, it didn't work - they blamed it on background noise (pfffftt). It's actually a perfect tool for baiters, because it doesn't work.
