Greg, at the first reading of your response, it sounded overly
complicated for me to have to "dip nib" and  "pluck goose" every time
I just want to semantically indicate the ninth letter of the English
alphabet, but that's easily solved with a wizard interface, I guess.
Maybe every time I am trying to decide which letter to type in Word,
there could be some kind of animated persona that helps me choose the
character.  There could be a visual icon of an "eye" that reminds me
of the letter that I am trying to type, and I could configure the
depth to which I dib the nib with some kind of slider interface.  It
actually sounds quite simple and elegant, the more that I think about
it.
