Since computers are digital, and visual versus verbal (atleast until recenrly).
Why not have the middle lingo be one of visual means.. I know said this before,
but not to all the NG this email will be going to..

I know more people do not see in the exact same visual spectrum, some people are
color blind, but .

Why not have the intermediary lingo be one of visual/vocal means and not this
primative typed medium?

Did you go to the store?

picture of you, picture of store, question mark.

On my end, it would look like "did you go to the store?"
but to my french friend it would translate into what ever the symbols translate
into french.. Or what he/she has on her/his computer..

Of course if I asked "Did you go to the store"?

It would show:

Symbol for past, picture of my french friends (since it is her/his computer, and
I am the one asking), and a picture of a strore.

Sorry of I over labor the imagery, but I am tired, and want to be clear.
