The human mind is truly amazing, but I venture to suggest that the better one has learned to read the language in its proper form, the easier it is to read, interpret, and comprehend the message.

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.

They taught us this in school (Typology)

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.
