Corresponding with a computer via email today is as commonplace as letter writing and sending cards was several decades ago. Including animation, music and various graphic symbols is an accepted practice of enhancing the entertainment value of a personal note or driving home a point in advertising to make it more memorable. As a blind person these graphics and animations are meaningless to myself as well as most of the people I happen to communicate with. The screen reader does not do very well at describing or explaining them. Now, what I can do to impart a little humor to my intended reader is use the vehicle we both have in common, the screen reader. If I can have JAWS provide various sounds which may illustrate a point, provide a laugh or otherwise help me create a particular image or mood then so much the better. More than one person has commented that they would like to know how one gets JAWS to do those sounds. While the mechanics of actually combining letters to produce various strange sounds is seemingly simple to those folks who have made typographical mistakes causing JAWS to come up with some unintelligible rhetoric there are many on this list who may not have had that experience. Therefore these collections of odd wad looking letter combinations do, indeed, have something very valid to do with JAWS...
