I have had many different reactions to Elmo's conversational style. Below you can read many different approaches. Some people tried to mimic a child, as a child is the inteded user. Other people got angry at Elmo, and others provided an interesting twist, such as foreign languages or creative spelling that Elmo just didn't know quite how to deal with. I have created a table of contents to describe each conversation a little bit. Check them out. You are sure to get a few chuckles.
