Start your Friday with a celebration of words. "Saying Things" by Marilyn Krysl ayearofbeinghere.com/2013/02/m

"you feel your own voice
taking off like a swift, when you say a word you feel like
a gong that’s been struck, to speak is to step out of your skin,
stunned."

A quotation from Molière

CÉLIMÈNE: Yes, he’s a wonderful talker, who has the art of telling you nothing in a great harangue. There’s never any point to what he says; ‘t is only noise to which we listen.
 
[C’est un parleur étrange, et qui trouve toujours
L’art de ne vous rien dire avec de grands discours:
Dans les propos qu’il tient on ne voit jamais goutte,
Et ce n’est que du bruit que tout ce qu’on écoute.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Le Misanthrope, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 579ff (1666) [tr. Wormeley (1894), 2.5]

Might we have an animated talking avatar for future communications and videos?

Well... we might. And this opens up a lot of possibilities.. like animated videos for our synthpop compilations with singers actually, well... singing.
