     I wonder about this.  Try speaking the preceding paragraph with all
the punctuation in place.  Those imbedded single and double quotes would be
a pain, including the parens and the ellipses.  Also, you need some verbal
escapes, since the word "insert" is a marker (in the above system) and you
need to escape it back to its use as a normal word.

     The horrors of multi-person offices are too numerous to mention.  Not
to mention shouting "rm *" into a room crowded with voice recognition
terminals.  I like quiet when I work, not listening to my office babble to
his machine (and vice versa).
