I also firmly believe that simply because one has a capability, does not mean it should be employed. I am capable of breaking wind with considerable force, volume, sound, and odor, but most people would prefer I refrain from so doing.

Written Hebrew doesn't bother with vowels, except for learning and for children. The vowels are the little dots below the letters. I guess they figured that out a looooong time ago.

Shapes is what is being read not so much the letters. Because of this reason, some people find it hard to read a sentece in ALL CAPS LIKE THIS.
We read the positive and negative spaces or words.
