Saw that before a few years back, but it still amazes me. Pretty impressive if you think about it.

i read the rest of the posts on the thread with ease, but this one was hard. and there are a few words i am not too sure about still...

in school, its found that the human mind can also read most words without the vowels, therefore making it much easier to write fast notes during lectures.

did i get that right?

It would take me longer to try to leave out the vowels than to just write them down, but I suppose if you keep at it it will be faster writing, kinda like a new language?!

Yeah, it takes some practice- I usually symbolize small words and don't write in sentences. Still, I can take notes twice as fast and with half as much paper as most other people. No better way to take notes. Except that darn short-hand, Argh...

I usually type like that all the time so I read it perfectly.

Whatever happened to shorthand? Anyone remember that? Or am I giving my age away here?

(the only reason this message was spelled correctly is that I had to proof read it four times)
