I'll restate what I already said, but I'll say it phonetically, so that
anyone that speaks english, and has a fundamental concept of the alphabet
will be able to understand:

Menee uv owr uzerz, aht leest, wil bee yozeeng binarees, and manee wil
yooz thoze for xvideeoh.  This meanz thaht thoze thaht yooz Xvideo
binareez, but downt hahv Xvideoh, beekuz thayr kahrd duznt doo X Free 4
yet.  Sum cahrdz thaht downt doo Xfree 4 inclood the Number 9 Imagine and
S3 Tree-oh (I theenk sow, abowt thuh S3). Sins thay cahnt yooz thuh XF4,
thay downt hahv Xvideeoh, but stil hahv kay dee ee muhltiimeedeeyah, they
wohnt bee aybul too play Empegz.

I apologize for the usage of the letter 'z' so frequently, this isn't
l33t, this is just the way we speak english.
