Haha, indeed!

It's a good thing everyone in the world doesn't have the same skewed
outlook as Jan- or else we'd be doing almost nothing other than working
with spoken language and text. After all, that is how we communicate with
the majority of our systems- spoken language with people and other
animals, and text with most of our computers.  I may be a psychiatrist
who saves lives all the time- but I'm not working with people, their
minds, and their lives, I'm just talking and hearing other words which
incidentally are being talked at the same time.
