Perhaps so. Although FWIW, there's also a *lot* of average-joe users (I 
personally know far too many) who flat-out *refuse* to read any word 
that ever appears on their screen. These 
retards^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpeople^H^H^H^H^H^Hworthless wastes of carbon view 
"words" as things to be immediately shoo'ed away in a frenzy of mindless 
clicking and "How do I make this go away?!?!?" (Me: "Uhh, make 
what...well What does it say?" The Retard: "I dunno. I didn't read it." 
"[silently:]FFFUUUUCCCKKKKK YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!").

To be perfectly honest I actually *am* genuinely surprised to hear of 
the existence of retards who actually *do* read words on screens. Sounds 
almost like a paradise of geniuses compared to the bullshit I've always 
had to put up with.
