Good idea.

1) Have u noticed that whn yu raed that srcamled text luodly, it sounds 
like spoken by a deaf person. (because severe loss of hearing makes it 
hard to learn correct pronunciation).

2) Is this the same fennomena like in the (ancient Hebrew language?) 
that in written form uses consonant letters only.  The reader then fills 
in the missing vowels (aeioyäö). Like: kck th bll nt wall nd ctch t bck.

hmm, maybe not!


3) Anyway, gnna love that srcmbled format simply because rerrors do not 
appear, show up ;-). (having English as a foreign language)
