I still remember that in the Code function, ALDV translates to F*CK. In fact, that’s where I learned the word; I was in grade 1, and a grade 3 showed it to me.

my friend would write “i want your sex” and it would reply “sorry, can’t help” and we would rotfl, really. literally. rolling on the floor laughing is a very 11 year old girl thing to do.

Those things were great. We had a math version like this but with Cookie Monster, played the heck out of that thing.

I had one of these, but mine had actual buttons and not the little pad things like this one. I had a hard time understanding some of the words, too.

WTF!!!! I used to have one of those!!!!

It was my sister’s and then it became mine. It had a very hard keyboard. I didn’t used it for bad words because I was 4, lol, and I didn’t past the first level.

But it helped me to learn English, since it’s my 2nd language.

I wonder if it still on my parent’s house???

OMG!

I think I still have it stashed somewhere over my parents house. Now I gotta go find it!

I had one of these as well as a speak and math. I can hear the noises now: *bad music* SOLVE IT, LEVEL ONE.
With the Speak and Spell it was “SPELL DISSECT. THAT IS CORRECT. DISSECT THE FROG.” *ribbit*

I never had one of these, I was (ahem) to old by the time it came out. I remember thinking one might have helped my spelling.

I had the Speak & Math too! I still suck at math though. Spent too much time spelling things on it I suppose.

92% of respondents said they did in fact use the Speak and Spell in a way it was not designed for. The other 8% indicated they were liars, but terrible at it.

I never had this, but I adored my Speak & Math. You can spell lots of good things with that, too.

For some real fun, put in “7734″ on your calculator and turn it upside down. That used to amuse us…

If you used the Secret Code function, the word fnnyrub converts to a$$h*le.

I could never tell if it was saying burrow or bureau.

OMG I absolutely loved my Speak and Spell. And I totally did all the inappropriate stuff with mine. I’d tell my mom “F U” every now and again. I do think it started my obsession with correct spelling, though, since I try to correct every spelling error I see.

Some Speak n’ Spell memories:

I loved the bloop noises. That to me was even better than getting a word right.

Every time I need to spell “bureau,” I can still hear the angry voice of Speak & Spell yelling, “That is incorrect, the correct spelling of bureau is, B-U-R-E-A-U!!” Oh, that was a tough word to memorize…
