Most users would not do that though, for the simple reason that by
doing that they become falsely triggered quite easily. In your above
example, with "Y*o*u*a*r*e*t*h*i*r*s*t*y*" would be set off if they said
"You are really thirty years old today?", along with anything else that
contained those letters in that order. Still working on it in my
mind...
