ChaCha Sucks

I won't spend any time complaining about them, or saying how frustrating they are, but here's a conversation I had with them (for those who don't know, ChaCha is a phone service that will basically answer any question you ask, whether it be by leaving a message or texting, and they'll text back an answer). The following transcript completely unedited (and by completely, I mean down to the punctuation and capitalization of the letter "i"), except for the advertisements, which are clearly indicated.

So, it's pretty obvious that they don't know what they're doing (they even messed the order up of one of them). They've always been pretty good as a quick, on-the-go dictionary, but I think even that is more trouble than it's worth.
