OT, this concept was explored by British author Robert Westall in his 1983 SF dystopia Futuretrack 5 : "Was it just coincidence that computerspeak, which we'd learned with such throat wrenching difficulty, was also a complaining, niggling, nit picking noise that gave any normal human being a pain in the arse?" Now me, I used Graffiti a ton as well as the not quite so single stroke and therefore not so patent encumbered version that MS used on their late PDAs. I even implemented my own version on an early windows touchscreen netbook (angular delta and Levenshtein distance, match) so much so that it still pollutes my hand writing to this very day. I find it elegant and immediately understandable. Every one else thinks I'm writing in pig pen cipher.
