Oh wow, sounds really confusing, reminds me a lot of having to learn algibra for the first time with maybe more of a twist. I sometimes wish I could just turn that part of the game off and just let it move from one dimention to another, considering the fact that I just love the way it makes everything sound different, which is the only reason I do anything with it, but then again, that would probably defeat the purpose of the game play.
