Use the SayFormattedMessage function when you need to pass variables
into the %1, %2, %3, etc., placeholders in your messages, and use the
SayMessage when you do not need to pass variables into the message
strings.
I also use the Say function extensively, as it permits strings to be
marked up for Speech and Sounds Manager options.
Thanks,
Chad
