Ha, I've done that too, with earlier conlangs. Then
again, I tend to talk to inanimate objects, in a
completely non-schizophrenic way:
"Stupid computer, why must you fight me like that?"
"Oh, please, Microsoft Word, don't freeze up on me
now!"
Languages should have a 2nd person inanimate, just for
that purpose :).
