In referring to the strange language style being produced with the use of a Oiga Board - Irving Litvag writes;

.

"I would strongly suggest that you do not give up on it too quickly.  Do not cop out by just skimming over those verbal stumbling blocks in an efffort to pass on to something meatier. For in time, if you persevere, you will perceive a pattern, a consistency of rhythm and phrasing; you will understand at a glance the meanings of unusual words which at first only puzzled and irritated you."

.

I read much material by Patience Worth and I can attest to the truth of the above statement - at least for me.   I believe that the same experience will be had by those who are lucky enough to be provided sufficient access to quality reading material - produced , using one or more of the alternative alphabets.

.

While I do not believe in communication with the dead, I count the material produced by Patience Worth, as some of my favorite reading.  I think Unifon or some other similar system has the potential to open up new worlds to many who wouldn't otherwise bother with libraries and books, but would busy themselves with other activities.  That may be well - as we need all (allmost) kinds of people -but I'm glad I'm not one of them.
