> why would one set of charcters be less fit than another? Because one might already have phonetics associated with it. I literally have to read out messages aloud, have my wife read aloud other parts of the message so we can figure out what the sender meant. My favorite is a Berber from Tanger: amazight, arabic, spanish, some french, no formal education but also no inhibitions to write...and all in one alphabet. The only way to understand the text is to read it aloud once for each language, mark the parts that make sense in o e of the languages and then assemble all findings...
