question about VMK and limited vocabulary

[n00b on wheels!]

I don't play VMK but I've read about it.

I've heard that VMK is notorious for its limited dictionary - players are only allowed to used certain words.

I know that VMK isn't the only game to use this feature - for one day, the MMORPG RuneScape used it, but the developers got rid of it because players hated it.

Do VMKers react this way? Or have they gotten used to it?

I've heard that admins might ban users for "dictionary dancing" - that is, using "on", "too", "tree", "for", "ive", "fix", "see even", "ate", "fine", and "tent" for 1 to 10.

Will using a phonetic alphabet be considered violating the policies?

Example of phonetic alphabet:

A = Aurora
B = Bambi
C = Cinderella
D = Dumbo
E = Eeyore
F = Flower
G = Ghost
H = Herbie
I = Island
J = Jasmine
K = Khaki
L = Loopy
M = Mickey
N = Ninja
O = Owl
P = Philip
Q = Quest
R = Rocket
S = Simba
T = Tiki
U = Ursula
V = Vampire
W = Wonderland
X = Exact
Y = Yeti
Z = Zombie

On another note, maybe it's possible to have "free" comunication using some form of Morse code, such as "." and ":", etc.

I've played VMK before. The limited vocab is there because there are a lot of kids and teens in there and it's for their protection. They have gotten around it and one time while I was playing, someone was going around asking every boy if they were "day," which obviously meant gay. Kids find a way to beat the system, but I like that it's there. It wasn't meant to be used for chatting purposes. It's an online game. It is used best for asking other players questions about games or quests you are stumped on or for thanking people for helping you. It does get a little frustrating when you need to use a number, which aren't allowed because they don't want anybody giving their age. But the downsides to the system pale in comparison to the upsides. If I was older and had kids, I would feel comfortable with them playing VMK.
