It's not like the voice channel was ever a good fit for the task...

- I'd like to order a pizza.

- Great! What kind would you want?

- I have no idea, what kinds are available?

(Silence while somebody asks themselves if they really want to dictate 100 different kinds of pizza for you)

- Do you have $POPULAR-KIND-THAT-IM-ALREADY-TIRED-OF-EATING?

- Yes! (Relief by not having to dictate all of them)

- How much is it?

- Oh, it's $$$.

- What?! $$$ for a single pizza?

- Yes, that's a MOST-EXPENSIVE-CATEGORY-OF-PIZZA, it's totally not the simple pizza you were expecting from the name.

And so it goes.
